Windows system time multiple issues

Some follow up questions:
- Can you get to date/time screen when you run w32time.exe? (w32time.exe doesn't automatically sync, just starts the service afaik)
- run: w32time.exe /resync and see what happens
- Windows Time service is Manual by default, and stopped
- can you see Windows Time service after running w32time.exe

Your motherboard manual should help with the battery replacement.

Sadly, this didn't work either and those darn batteries weren't easy to get :P

I can't find a w32time.exe anywhere on my pc :P

-after running w32tm the service does show like this:

When I click to start the service I get an acces denied error message :P

If that doesn't work try repairing the service using Atomic.

Download Atomic Clock Sync = not a direct download link.

I'll try the fixit and then I'll turn off my pc to allow the time to de-sync! Will let you know the results!

It seems like the fixit tool did the job! Thanks a bunch!
