No it doesn't it runs usually 24/7 Is it better to turn off and reboot daily? I usually reboot about every other , I am up early on computer all day and it runs and gathers info at night for me... Although now I am wondering if I am having other problems I don't know about yet... Thanks for trying to help!

ODD a 2 - 3 year old Gateway!?! a buddy of mine had a time thing go wrong with his 2-3 yr old Gateway too. He doesnt know if he had a timezone problem or not, he never looked. Eventually hi sproblem did fix itself however he is on Dial-up and cleans and reboots his puter everyday. I am assuming you are on a broadband connection (as you use it for work) and it doesn't get rebooted every day. sandy1943@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: Purchased brand new about 2 years ago, and not on network, XP PRO I can't recall when it worked to be honest, not something I usually check, I just noticed some emails had wrong time stamp so checked an notice time was incorrect as it is again now! UGH it's timing things at 10:54 PM and it's only 4:54 PM I turned off the internet time where it automatically synchronize with an internet server in the date and time properties box. now the time is wrong again! shoot! It's a gateway, and as I mentioned 2 or is it 3 years old now. A few weeks ago I did a search and didn't find anything so was hoping to replace or repair the clock.... but can't find a thing on it. I was transferring my information form calendar on my laptop using a pst file and noticed when it put the new appointments from my laptop into the calendar on this desktop, it puts them in the wrong places, ex I have an appointment for 4 and it put it at 8pm on the calendar! but that might be a different problem.... If I didn't need the computer so much for work, I would reformat it but... I need it daily for work Sandy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don" To: Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 10:36 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: CLOCK I'm out of ideas... the rest of this message is just to try to find some new ones. Can someone out there chime in with something.... Is your computer on a network or was it purchased new or used at a surplus sale or similar and have a network configured or corporate customized version of Windows installed? In a home network? Do you login as an administrator or a user. (I'm thinking permissions here) Is your XP the Home or Pro version? Retail or OEM? What was done with the computer between the last time you had the tab and the first time you noticed it missing? What brand is your computer? Have you called them or visited the user forums to find an answer? I Google searched Microsoft.com and could not find anything useful.
