I use to have a program that did that It was on a very old xt system. I can not remember the name of the program that I used at that time. On that system the battery was shot and not user replaceable. I had that program in the autoexec.bat so the computer always had the correct time. -----Original Message----- From: David Ferrin Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 10:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] computer time This might help me as well, I have a relative whose' system is always loosing it's time settings and this could possibly be the answer. It never crossed my little remaining grey matter that such an animal existed.

Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 10:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] computer time Here is a simple utility that runs in the system tray and will keep the computer clock up to date on an interval that you can set. I initially downloaded this utility for my wife's old IBM ThinkPad with a dead Cmos battery. The clock is off by days every time she turns it on. Instead of disassembling the computer to replace the battery, this utility resets the clock each time she starts the computer. Easy! Once you have the utility installed and confirm that it is working, you can disable the Windows Time service. It's not mandatory, but it will save a few MB of ram. http://www.timesynctool.com/ John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lenny McHugh" <[email protected]> To: "JFW List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 8:01 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] computer time >I just noticed that my computer clock is about 4 minutes slow.
