Time Schronization: Change Date & Time Internet Time Tab And Chose A Time Standard To Connect
Aug 31, 2008
I recently went into Change Date & Time Internet time tab and chose a time standard to connect with. After doing that I went onto the internet and connected with time.nist.gov and checked the time. After that I was no longer able to go into the internet time tab. It tells me that time.nist.gov is the time connection and I can't change it. It tells me I need to have permission to do this as administrator. I am the administrator! What goes here?
I've got an Sony VGN-BX197XP laptop that I've upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate. Since then I've encountered some strange display-related issues:
1) I could only boot into Aero about 50% of the time. The rest of the time I forced onto the Standard theme with no Aero option. Since installing Vista SP1 I can't get Aero at all.
2) When not running in Aero mode I can't get the Windows Media Player to play video files, nor get a Perfomance Index.
3) If I plug in an external monitor I can't get a picture on the laptop monitor but I *do* get a picture on the external monitor and it runs Aero 100% of the time. It will also play video files and give me a performance index.
Recently I have bought Vista Home Premium x64 and to be honest I am having quite annoying issue with this OS . I had installed Vista on RAID0 partition. Additionally I have three other sata drives for my data . I noticed that from time to time when I am working on vista , system freeze for 2-3 sec then everything is fine and I can continue work. Particulary when for example I am opening some application or even windows explorer , my computer etc. (when it hangs I can't move my mouse). Moreover when it freeze I "hear" something inside my computer case as if my computer weak up from hibernation.
Im in vista 64 bit. I was trying to install a licence for Cubase and was getting a time, calendar error. I look and everything is on time to the second hand on my wall. But for the hell of it, I tryed syncing it to all the availible servers but got: "An error occured while Windows was synchronizing with whatever.server" However I can ping the servers in comand prompt. And also, like the topic says, It still keeps perfect time. It set it's own time. So Im clueless. A bios thing perhaps?
I'm having a problem with Vista 64, I've verified the date and time in the bios (new motherboard) what happens is the date and time change to Dec 2016 after the PC restarts and the desktop is ready for action. I've scanned for viruses and malware and none were found, this is a new install from scratch.
Also I have a "Interactive Services Detection" error that forced me to disable the service, does anybody know how to fix it instead of disabling the service? I could just do another re-install but I'd like to avoid that right now.
Everytime I reboot my machine a new date and time appear. My computer is set to adjust the time based on the internet but today is now June 2, 2008 and the computer says the time is 4:44 am. My clock shows 8:35. the clock can only be changed the administrator (my husband by password only). The date hops all over everytime we reboot or log off and then log on again.
Is there a way to show the time and date in one line in the system tray/taskbar instead of using the way when you unlock the taskbar and make it larger?
I needed to force-restart my Vista Ultimate a short while ago. It was entirely frozen. Upon restart my time and date had been reset to December 31, 2002, 11:25 p.m. How concerned do I need to be about this surprising situation? Does this represent a virus? I have performed a complete virus scan (AVG 8); nothing was found. I have also performed a complete scan with Spyware Doctor. Likewise, nothing was found.
I'm wondering if it's possible to set up my computer (it has two ethernet connectors) to connect to 2 different networks at the same time? (this would be both "wired" networks, but if wireless is easier I have wireless USB adapters I can utilize as both of my network routers are wired & wireless).
I tried Brink's tip to increase the hover time before a tooltip appears: Mouse Hover Time - Change. The default is 400 (milliseconds). I changed this to 5000, which should be 5 seconds. This would be long enough not to annoy me, but still short enough if I really need to know what the tooltip is saying. However, I don't think this has any effect on my pop-up time. I tried the value of 500,000 used by "KWMN ", which she said has stopped the popup. I tried this value, but it made no difference. I am rebooting after each experiment. And the change is persistent when I re-open the registry after each reboot.
I already have my backup settings configured, but wish to go in and change the backup time. How do I change the backup time and save this setting WITHOUT starting a new backup?
Would you like to change the time format in the taskbar to military or international time format?
Click on the Start Button, type in intl.cpl and hit Enter. Click the Customize this format button. Click on the Time tab. Change the time format to H:mm:ss and hit OK. Hit OK once more to close Regional and Language Options.
It start some time between installing windows vista sp1 and windows vista sp2. I am using windows vista home premium Sp2 x32 with avg 8.5 and widnows firewall. Becuase internet sync won't work i cant update avg or my computer.
If I want to update my computer time to any one of five locations given to me by MS, I have to click the mouse six times. Is there a command prompt that will get me to that sixth click?
internet explorer 9 keeps crashing non stop i press X to close it and it crashes i do searches in facebook it crashed it never used to have this problem suddenly its crashing non stop i had to change my default browser because it was so annoying...a way to fix it?
A long load time when a user starts Internet Explorer is one of the most common performance issues seen with Internet Explorer 8. The primary cause of this problem is third-party add-ons that were either preloaded on a new computer or bundled with other software and installed over time. These extra mini programs must be loaded along with the core Internet Explorer code every time Internet Explorer is launched
Internet Explorer 8 includes a very handy feature that will help you identify how much time each add-on in Internet Explorer is ....
and I don't get it. 'windows internet explorer has stopped working.' and then sometimes when I start it---the links are all missing. All I have is the basic IE7 with the Yahoo toolbar, latest version. The next time it happens, I will take a SS. I may have to go to FF which is not my preference. How do you get FF be the default browser for yahoo mail, for example?
when I set the time on my pc it changes after a couple days sometimes sooner.I have unchecked the box in synchronize with internet time server.I don't belive this is a virus because I have run all scans and come up clean,It is a fresh install,and it happens on all fresh installs of vista.Any ideas?
I have previously posted regarding the large volume of bits and pieces that are under my (user) folder on the drive. 89,000 plus. All of this came about by trying to restore from a backup created from a Windows Vista Ultimate computer. My new one, at present is Windows Vista Home Premium.
I finally figured how to sort the files by file type (not set up that way as in XP). When I set about to delete a thousand or so, it never seems to complete.
Is there a way to speed this operation up? I have now spent 5 hours at it.
I just purchased a Toshiba A205-7464 laptop before Christmas and have been having a problem lately with the wireless internet hanging on me.
I will be online for a certain period of time, sometimes hours, sometimes 10 minutes. I will try to go to a website, not always the same one, and IE will just hang, no graphics will come up, the green bar just stops halfway through and it just hangs. I get no error page or anything but in order to get it working again, I have to reboot. It is really starting to tick me off because it is starting to happen more frequently. I have uninstalled McAfee and installed my own Security Software (CA Suite).
I reaaly want to erase the 3 "unknown user profiles" ( see screenshot below )
3701
The computer was given to me by my son. He bought it brand new, and couldn't tell me anything about those 3 profiles. I want to get rid of them. If not possible, at least someone tell me how did those 3 come to being ??? My limited understanding of this matter is that those 3 profiles were from user accounts which were since removed. BUT don't they( the profiles) also got removed at the same time accounts were removed ??
A few weeks ago my computer died whilst playing online poker. Got the BSOD followed by computer refusing to boot at all. In the end I got it to boot up from the cd drive to run memtest86 and windows memory diagnostic to check my 2gb RAM. Sure enough both of these scans found errors and so today I opened the machine up! Took out 1gb or stick of RAM, and left the other 1gb in the machine. I then ran both memory tests again and this time no errors were found! So in my mind I had removed the faulty RAM and maybe vista would start for the first time in weeks! It did start to my relief and it seemed to be running ok. Then all of a sudden while browsing the net, the computer just froze. Now it keeps freezing often and randomly, sometimes even just by moving the mouse!
One bit of good news is that it is JUST freezing and no longer giving me various BSODs. Does it keep freezing because 1gb of ram is not enough? Another interesting thing is that when the system died on me 2 weeks back I was playing online poker and was always wondering if this caused the problem. Then today I ran a virus scan and it was scanning fine until it came to scanning one file which froze the scan and computer. The file was the following - c:Program filesfull tilt pokergraphics... widget.Tournamentinfo.PNG. Obviously this file is from the same site I was playing poker on. Does that mean anything or am I reading too much into it? Main thing. Is 1gb of RAM enough to run Vista without freezing randomly all the time? I would have thought it was, but I'm not that clued up!
I've just had my computer for a few days and I've noticed that the CPU usage meter is at 60% all the time now (even when it's sitting idle).. where it was usually less than 10%. The realiabilty and performance monitor shows that something alled "LOCAL MANAGEABILITY SERVICE" "LMS.exe" is continually using 50% of the CPU. What is this manageability service and why is it consuming 50% of my CPU power?
In the mean time i haven a problem tryin to get on the net usin the guest account..Windows keeps commin back and given me some sorta IE run time error with somethin of a c++...

I want to put time limits on how long a student can use a Vista Business computer. I know it can be done using Home and Ultimate editions. I am also looking for "FREE" software that will limit the time-anyone have any ideas?
I am getting tired of having to restart IE7. What is going on with this freezing problem. It started about three or four weeks ago, and hasn't stopped. Seems everytime I access the internet the system freezes up (at least two or three times, each time). I am now running it without any add-ons, and still have the same problem.
I used to be able to boot up in no time. The microsoft vista "lightbar" used to scroll left to right about 5 times. Now, it scrolls 43 times.
I did the Visual basic test that I found here and my boot up time is 155 seconds. I do know part of my problem is my antivirus but looking around I found more problems.I have major bootup errors in the event log.
