Time and Date problem

[Mike]

Hi,

I've been running the same XP SP2 setup for a long time and a couple
of days ago I noticed the time and date had got set to incorrect
values. I reset them but next time I logged in the problem was back -
the date was set to sometime in 2006.

My first thought was the RTC battery had died but I checked the time
in the BIOS then switched off and unplugged the machine for a day.
The result was the BIOS showed the correct time so I don't believe it
is the CMOS / RTC battery that is at fault.

The problem seems to occur whenever I run Windows and it has me
stymied. I noticed that the time/date properties dialog on this PC
has an "inthernet time" tab that is missing from my work PC, I tried
unsetting the time server from the internet flag but this did not fix
the problem.

Any ideas would be most gratefully received.

Thanks,

Mike

I have been searching for a viable answer to this problem for
a few weeks now. All I get is a bunch of BS answers such
as Newbie Coder posts in the next post. Until I can find a
correct fix I just turned off automatic syncxxxx in Internet Time.

w32tm /unregister = xx error occured: Access is denied. <0x80070005>
I will try this for a few days to see the results.
This problem would have nothing to do with help_and_support,
Anyway thank you Wesley Vogel.

microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support is not just for Help and Support
(HelpCtr.exe).

Ignore this....
w32tm /unregister
The following error occurred: Access is denied. (0x80070005)

Read on, McDuff...

To restore the Windows Time Service if it has been broken. Open a command
prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |

Type: net stop W32Time hit your Enter key.

Type: w32tm /unregister hit your Enter key.

Type: w32tm /register hit your Enter key.

Type: net start W32Time hit your Enter key.

Type: sc query W32Time hit your Enter key.

It will look something like this...

------------------
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\>net stop W32Time
The Windows Time service is not started.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3521.

C:\>NET HELPMSG 3521

C:\>w32tm /unregister

C:\>w32tm /register

------------------

If you still are having problems. Maybe run the unregister command, reboot,
run the register command and reboot.

Type in a command prompt:

w32tm /unregister

Hit Enter. Close whatever you need to close and reboot.

Type in a command prompt:

w32tm /register

Hit Enter. See if Windows Time is in Services, if not reboot and look
again.

Explanation.

w32tm /register
Register to run as a service and add default configuration to the registry.

w32tm /unregister
Unregister service and remove all configuration information from the
registry.

For help, type: w32tm /?

Also, paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...
