windoows clock accuracy

[andygo]

The clock in my new PC gains about 2 mins per day. No great deal really, but is there any way to regulate its accuracy?

Nope, but you can install a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Client.

These clients connect to dedicated time servers on the Internet and will kee pyour clock in sync.

I've got a little utility called active sync that does it manually.

XP should sync time over the net to keep it's self correct - double click on the clock and go to 'internet time' and check that it's working properly.

Agreed.

And also try using a uk based time server rather than the ones suggested by Microsoft.

I use ntp2b.mcc.ac.uk which i believe is at Manchester Uni and also ntp1.npl.co.uk which is at the National Physical Laboratory.
