lol.

Imho the OP is being very fussy worrying about a few hours. My first PC
had system files on it allegedly dated 1955 and 1965, and to find a
file that was reported to have been created after it was last modified,
and last modified after it was last accessed, was just normal. Computer
times and dates are at best hopeful. If there's one thing computers can
do well, its lie through their teeth about the accuracy of garbage
data.

It's because your PC is set to the wrong timezone - probably USA Eastern
Seaboard time, or something - and the usenet system is believing your 18:02,
and adjusting it to UK time.

Search for a program called atomic.exe its freeware. This will "ping" a
timeserver once a day and keep your clock very much on time!.

There is another little utility called Tclock ex written by Dale Nurden
which makes the clock section on a windoze machine all the more
useful....


save you looking;!.

But that isn't the problem. He has to reset his clock by clicking on it
and checking what year it is running in as well as adjusting it for the
minutes being out, before bothering with the days months and hours.

It could be that the CMOS battery is duff. They only last about 8 years
although they can go to 10 or more. I always remove my power cable
these days when the PC is not in use.

I had a PSU blow up on me due to a faulty DVD Writer. (I hope, 'cause
that's what's been taken out to cure it.)

The times zones run at 1 hourly intervals. Minutes will be the same
wherever.

If you (OP) are using Windows, you probably don't need to go looking.
Windows 2000 onwards (XP, server 2003, etc.) have time management
built-in. You might need to configure it - but that is likely required
with any third-party software as well. Mind, I don't think that is the
problem either - access usenet directly.

If the CMOS batt was U/S a lot more settings would be amiss..

Well one presumes the OP has checked them?. If not suggest he does
ASAP!...

If you knew what a newsreader was, you would be probably be using one
and wouldn't need to ask that question so I'll suggest
http://groups.google.com/group/uk.d-i-y instead.

I think 'Raden' put his finger on it!

"You're using DIY Banter - give up and commit suicide"

Can i use something else?

When did you *actually* post it?

The initial time stamp in the header is Fri, 12 May 2006 05:31:03 -0500

This indicates that it posted at 5:31 am by a PC whose timezone is 5 hours
behind GMT (or 6 hours behind BST) - so that means 11:31 UK time.

According to DIY Banter, it was posted at 1:19pm UK time - which is nearly 2
hours later. However, that time is clearly wrong because someone answered
your message at 11:58 am - which would require a degree of clairvoyance!

I suspect that we have two separate probems here - each of which needs
sorting individually.
