Time in sytem tray off as the day goes on

[msrunyon]

The time in the system tray is off as the day goes on. I can reset it in the morning and by noon the time will show 11:30. Has anyone seen anything like this?

only with a dodgy CMOS battery how old is the puter?

Dodgy battery is 98% likely, but there are other things that can cause it. Are you allowing the system to go into sleep mode? Some of them don't track time properly in sleep mode.

[msrunyon]

That's what I thought but the time in the bios is correct.

Have you thought about using an atomic clock program to sycronize your clock? I know you can download some freeware versions at your favorite download site.

IVE SEEN A COUPLE CASES WHERE MICROSOFT OUTLOOK CAUSED THIS EXACT ISSUE, NOT SURE WHAT THE FIX IS THOUGH, THIS HAPPENED ON A COUPLE MACHINES I DO WORK ON , AND THEY BOTH LEFT OUTLOOK OPEN ALL DAY, NOT SURE IF THIS IS YOUR CASE BUT MIGHT HELP.

Are you on a network? novell networks quite often will synchronize ALL the clocks on the network to protect the integrity of the DNS tree.
