    2 minute timer icon on home screen after factory reset?


    Hello

    This is my first post here so I hope I am in the correct section.

    I recently handed over my laptop to the kids & then they managed to lock it with a password nobody could remember. So long story short I did a factory reset on it which worked well, however now there is a 2 minute timer icon on the home screen & I do not know why it's there or how to get rid of it.

    This is on an Acer Aspire 5336 running windows 7

    Thanks in advance.

I noticed that my clock is a bit slow. I think it started happening within the last week or so. Prior to that there were no problems. It is set to synchronize automatically but I manually synchronized and sure enough it is now correct. So is it not synchronizing on it's own? Any ideas?
