Okay-Why in the *HELL* is my computer clock always 5 mintues slow?
My computer updated just fine for Daylight Savings. This has been on going.

I just reset it about an hour ago. It is ALWAYS Five full minutes slow. What the hell is up with that?

:shrug:

This is a standard Dell computer (stack and slim screen) the OP is Windows whatever the latest was about 2 years ago. Basically your standard workplace computer.

3. I have the same problem
I'll update the clock and some time later, it's slow again.

I remember reading somewhere that the clock in some computers is run by the same quartz you'd find in a cheap watch. :shrug:

4. There is a time delay on your computer
in case you say something offensive that needs to be bleeped out.
