Taskbar Clock Is Slow And Internet Disconnects?
Jan 17, 2013
Prior to Windows 7 64bit my other computer used XP 32bit. The clock was always off by several hours and it seemed like time wasnt being kept when the computer was off and the time was very slow when it was on. I read that it was due to a coin battery that was basically shutting off. I didnt really pay attention to it cause i dont need the time to be correct on it and aside from that and a clicking harddrive, the computer would run fine.Since the harddrive was clicky, i ended up buying another harddrive and tossing the old one. I installed Windows 7 64bit on it and to my surprise going on for atleast a month now, the time was correct. When id turn off the computer for the night and power it on in the morning the time was correct. All this time i thought it was the battery but nope everything worked fine. The time was always correct no matter what.Now the problem. About 2 days ago the power turned off suddenly due to someone plugging in a heater. The heater basically shuts down the house when everyone has things powered on (tv, entertainment centers, computers etc). After that power outage the computer reverted back to its old problem.From that moment on, the clock on the bottom right is once again behind. The time after turn off does not save and now for some reason the internet on that PC disconnects randomly on its own unless i actually go in the control panel and disable and reenable the adapter. A rundown below on whats going on...
- Clock is slow. Its 7am while the clock would read something like 2pm.
- Internet disconnects randomly and must be re-enabled in the control panel.
- The adapter is sometimes stuck in an Indentifying Network infinite loop.
- NOTHING was changed in terms of hardware, only thing different is the harddrive.
This is a PC not a laptop. I cannot figure out whats going on with this, all the proper services are started too. The PC does connect to a router which also connects to the PC im using now and as of now, my net works fine just not on the other PC.

I just installed Windows 7 RC Build 7100 32-bit version on 2 brand new right out of the box Dell Optiplex 960. This was a fresh install not an upgrade. The setup ran just fine. Windows boots up and runs but is sluggish and sometimes I have to wait for things to open. Such as running solitaire it is slow to deal the cards and even stops briefly.I also tried the 64-bit version but receive an error during the boot from DVD. Status 0xC00000e9. Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred.The cpu and memory usage are not high at all. I have also noticed that the time on the taskbar is running very slow. It takes about 45-50 seconds for one second of time to pass.I am wondering if maybe there is a driver issue with the machines. I have installed the Windows 7 video driver from the ATI site. I am not sure where to find a chipset driver for this computer. There are no red X's or other problems in the device manager.

i did a clean install of windows 7 due to reg problems at the start of this year.before that the wifi went fine it did not disconnect of me and windows was not saying that it can find the network.so the problem is that when i am in my room it runs very slow at times and disconnects and windows says there is no wifi but if i move outside my door it finds it and connects i find this odd since windows says it a good connection almost full bars and speed running at 54(the top speed) and 48 it the connection speed and signal drop down low at times (but only in my room no where else) any ideas? [code]

It was there, over on the far right of the taskbar, together with the date, then somehow I removed it from the task bar, but now want to get it back. How to do that?

I cannot see the date when hovering over the clock in the task bar.
I see a very brief flash of what could be the date only.

Lately my bottom right display on the task bar is disappearing. This includes the clock, and all system tray icons. All I have to do is open the task bar properties and click OK and then it comes back. This does not happen after a reboot, it just happens suddenly for no reason, and a couple times a week.

I used to use an old XP desktop with direct connection and it stayed connected, used my vista laptop with direct connection and it stayed connected, and now with my new Windows 7 desktop the internet does not stay connected. It just disconnects and reconnects in a split second. This interferes while I'm playing games (3 different games), it'll tell me I have lost connection, and when I check my internet connection it says I'm connected. Sometimes I see the little internet connection icon on the bottom say X then a little loading circle then back online in a second.

My laptop, running Windows 7, has been experiencing problems with staying connected to the internet. Sometimes within 10 minutes the internet is lost twice. It automatically reconnects after a couple minutes and it's smooth sailing from thereon out. Then it could be a couple of hours later before it disconnects again.here doesn't seem to be a clear pattern as to when it shuts off connection.I've updated the drivers, tried to remove as much as I could from the start up programmes as well as the services, though I am not sure how to check if there are software conflicts. I've used CCleaner to clean up as much as I can, including the registry. I have tried Belarc for the first time to try and look into problems, but am not well versed in it. The programmes that I know of that remain connected to the internet while my laptop is on include AVG, Firefox/Chrome, Skype, Windows Firewall. I am not sure what other kind of info I can provide, but could post running programmes or anything else you would suggest.

I've recently been having this problem where whenever my wireless internet disconnects, it's indicates it's reconnecting but never actually connects. I've tried turning the connection adapter on and off but it's still stuck saying it's reconnecting.

I powered it back on and all was well save my CPU fan being rather loud. Closer inspection revealed a blade broke off the fan. I replaced the fan thus morning and it seemed to run fine.I had an issue connecting to the internet, so I powered off, reconnected all the cables and rebooted the router and modem, and it seemed to fix it.I went on using the computer and got a dialogue box telling me that the internet disconnected. I attempted to reconnect and it failed. A couple of minutes later my computer froze. I had mouse control but that's it. I gave it a hard restart and it still didn't connect.I went out with a friend, came back and it connected no problem.I was playing a game and saw the internet disconnected again, then PC froze again.I restarted then ran avg, no problems

Sometimes my Internet Explorer will randomly disconnect from the internet. Sometimes it will disconnect when I have left the computer for 10 minutes. Sometimes it will disconnect right in the middle of surfing the internet. It is only Internet Explorer because my anti-virus and my stand alone download manager will continue to be connected.
I have Windows 7 Pro and Internet Explorer9. I've had this problem before when I was on Windows XP and it only happens when I have had DSL (didn't happen when I had cable internet).

Well the other day a "friend" put a spyware on my computer and monitored me for a while all because he want me to get a amd crapdozer (coz he HATES intel and thinks amd is actually good) computer. Anyway when he told me he was monitoring me i got pissed so i downloaded like 3 spyware/malware removals (would of put malwarebytes only, but friend decided to block me from doing that) anyway i made a deal with the friend and he decided to remove the spyware. So i decided to remove my extra security software (comodo firewally, pctools spyware doctor i think) and i kept my avast free. While my computer was infected i was playing around with ALOT of settings in comodo fire wall and after installing it my internet has been disconnecting (only in my computer). Now i think that my messing around with comodo has created this problem but im not sure. For example if i want to load google it takes ages and alot of times and after a while it will disconnect.

I have noticed that during both of these times, my internet stops working. A process (which i believe relates to my Ralink Wireless LAN Card) called "svchost.exe" takes a lot of memory and the service name is "wudfsvc". Then I check the performance tab and my CPU's performance spikes 25-40% constantly. Then, the only time I receive the bluescreen is when I try to shut down my computer (if my cpu usage isn't spiking and I do have access to the internet, it shuts down fine and normal, it is only during this weird random event that I get bluescreen trying to shut down). I had installed drivers for my videocard, but that is about it. I did NOT install any drivers relating to my LAN card.
note that this occurs randomly and that particular service is always running at 150k memory usage. However, the only time I get this bluescreen is when the CPU usage starts to spike, my internet goes down and I try to shut down my computer.Upon restarting my computer if this happens, it gets stuck on the splashscreen. So I end up turning it off completely and doing a normal boot up and the computer works perfectly fine.

I just had our internet upgraded to 20MB DL Comcast high speed cable. There are 3 computers on the network. 1 Wired, 2 Wireless. I'm the only computer savvy individual in the household and I don't know what the problem is.I am CONSTANTLY disconnecting from the router even while just browsing the web. I just did for a second while I was typing this up. I'm only about 35-40 feet away from the router, there's nothing to interfere with. My drivers are up to date.

When my desktop computer wakes from sleeping it takes approx. 20-30 seconds to connect to the internet. From what I remember, several things happened just a little bit prior to my noticing that this was occuring- 1. I installed Skype (I remember installing Skype on one of my computers before and it kept the computer from sleeping, I don't remember if I was able to fix it or had to do a system restore, so Skype has been a problem in the past although not this specific problem), 2. I ran Combofix for a virus infection, and 3. I got a new modem from the phone company after the old one quit working.I'm really not sure what the problem is, ie if it is one of the things above or something else completely, as I uninstalled Skype and the problem persisted (was not able to do a system restore to before Skype being installed due to Combofix deleting my system restore points) and my laptop is connected to the same router that is hooked up to the new modem that my desktop is and my laptop is connected to the internet immediately after waking from sleeping so I'm not sure how it could be a problem with the new modem if my laptop connects but the desktop doesn't. I've tried doing various fixes and tweaks from googling around but haven't been successful in finding anything

My internet is connected to a laptop downstairs as well as mine (sometimes but rarely). I often cant connect. It comes up with a box that says "Connect to a Network" and for options, "Troubleshoot problems" or "Tell me more about Internet connection problems". I click "Troubleshoot problems" about 5,000 times a day (no joke) and about 20 of those times it fixes the problem. The other times it does nothing and I have to go shut off the downstairs computer and unplug and plug back in the router about 10 times. Then sometimes is works for 10 minutes or so, and sometimes it doesn't. If I ever do get it working, it never ever stays working. Most times when the internet does connect, it works for about 30 seconds then shows a yellow triangle warning said with an exclamation mark stating "limited access". My SGS2 phone connects just fine. So does the laptop downstairs and any other gadgets except for my desktop! This is frustrating as anything!

I will try to be as descriptive as possible. I currently have GoWifi to access my internet (my room mate has it to)But for the past 4 days my computer has been running horribly slow. I can't use a enthernet cable becuase "Gowifi" is only wireless. I use google chrome most of the time, but the internet is slow on chrome and explorer. I have tried the "ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew" method. I have also tried to Reset WINSOCK, Reset IPv4, Reset IPv6, and then restarted my computer but still did not do the trick. I have tried various things from forums on other sites and this site but it still is not doing the trick.Is there Anything you guys could tell me that could fix my problem? And i do have a windows 7 computer.

So I just bought new parts for my PC (i7 3770 and 8gb of ram), and everything was running fine at first, but now my pc starts up pretty slow. The desktop comes up but the only thing I see is the wallpaper and the taskbar. The icons come like a minute later coupled with the windows startup sound. I don't have much startup programs as this is a pretty new install.

i bought this computer a few years ago and recently installed a hd 6670 graphics card and an old 420w psu i had so i could play games.i noticed after installing the new graphics card that my internet was running incredibly slow, and it was taking minutes to load some web pages. i have recently been away for a week and i have just got back and it is still the same. it takes minutes to load a webpage, often it won't load at all and streaming video from Internet is impossible. i then went to device manager and uninstalled the drivers for the graphics card and without rebooting the internet is instantly back to normal speed. as soon as i reinstall the drivers it is slowed down again. i have catalyst control center disabled as well.at the moment, if i want to play games i have to install the drivers each time, and then uninstall them whenever i want to browse the internet.

Lately I've got the computer back from a guy who repaired it. Everything on it works fine, except the point that I have problems connection to different networks. An example is at home, where I sometimes get cut off the internet and the internet connection is really slow. I can't even play games without have freezelag where everything is stopping. Even though I got problems with my connection, other persons which is also using the internet here are not having any problems with the internet
