rtyhgn85 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Even when I format my pc still I cannot set the time, is it any problem with the XP cd I use?
sven Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 A bit more information would be useful to be honest. Are you running this XP machine as a stand alone or on a domain? Are you trying to set the time manually, trying to sync with your DC or are you trying to sync with a time server over the net?
mac_shinobi Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Try and set the date and time in the BIOS / CMOS ( Normally pressing F2 or DELETE ( not backspace ) whilst the computer is powering on. If it keeps forgetting the date / time then may need / require a new cmos battery
FN-GM Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Even when I format my pc still I cannot set the time, is it any problem with the XP cd I use? What happens when you set the time? Does it not keep it? If the computer is not keeping the time, the battery on the motherboard could be dead. Please can a MOD rename this thread? Thanks Edited March 17, 2011 by FN-GM
sven Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I would have expected a message at POST regarding a CMOS battery issue, but the intial post was fairly sketchy on details
