Answer 2

Check to see if you have it set to the right time zone.

Answer 3

The rtc is on your motherboard.  First turn off your computer and disconnect power cable.  You can re-set rtc by moving the 'jumper cap' from where it is (covering two of three pins - usually) to cover the uncovered pin, ie if it covers pin 1 and 2, move it to cover pin 2 and 3.  Leave it for half a minute then put the cap back on where it was.  The rtc should now be reset.  (Look in your motherboard manual if you have it or google your motherboard and look for the manual on-line).  If you don't know what you've got, download Belarc advisor (free) and run it.  That will give you all the information you need about your computer: type of motherboard, cpu etc etc.  Very good program.  Start computer and set clock to correct time.  (If this doesn't work it's off to the computer shop)

Answer 4

well, that sounds to me like spyware. I hate to say it, but it's extremely hard to get rid of.

when you get it fixed, you're gonna have to refrain from looking at pornography on a daily basis

Answer 6

This could be your motherboard battery.  When that battery goes bad your clock will not keep the correct time.

There is also a nasty virus that will reset your clock and even the date/year, making it completely inaccurate.  

If the change in time is happening instantly I would assume it is a virus and you'll have to use a virus protection program to detect and remove it.

Answer 7

You should reset it in control panel if that dont do it you might need a new Batterie in the motherbourd.

Answer 8

double click the clock
