Clock off by a half hour.

[Fan924]

Using Win98SE. Every few days I find my clock is a half hour slow.
Exactly a half hour. It is not running slow, it is being reset
somehow. ???????????

Is it possible that you have set your clock to the wrong time zone and
that you have a program that automatically synchronises your clock to
an Internet time server?

Sounds likely to me...
S/B pretty easy to check.

I just did a quick count and saw about half a dozen time zones that were on
the "half-hour"
and one by the "quarter hour"
looks like a good place for me to go and retire !
