I have tried adjusting the time in my computer but everytime I switch off my PC and power on again the time on the computer shows 30mins faster than the current time.

Anyone can advise,

thanks and regards,

Your PC may be set to synchronize it's time through the Internet. Check to see if this is enabled by clicking on the "Internet Time" tab, and try disabling it to see if it helps. You should also check the time set in the BIOS to make sure it's correct as well.

There is no "Internet Time" tab in the date and time properties.

Will check the BIOS time

I have change the BIOS time in the PC, after I restart the PC the time still shows 30mins faster.

Will changing the time in my domain server help?

Is your PC a member of a domain? If so, the tab will not appear. Here is the link http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=289689

Also, check your BIOS setup to see if it has the correct time.

BTW, how old is the PC? Maybe a new CMOS battery is in order.

My domain server time is running 30mins faster than the current time so I change it to the current time. Does that help?
