Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 |
Slow clock. Please help.
Hi there. My clock always seems to run slowly by like 15 or so seconds. I even went into the registry and set it to update every 4 hours but I still notice it runs slow sometimes. I know it can't be my CMOS battery dying since my system is still fairly new. Any ideas?
