I am really going crazy here. The time doesnt hold on my notebook. I changed the cmos battery. I turned off time synchronization. The time will also not hold when the computer goes into standby. I cant understand what is the problem. THe notebook is only a year old, of course the warranty is expired. It is an HP pavilion ze 5185. Has anyone heard of this before. Please help

Did you set the time in the Bios?

Yeah I checked the time in the bios and it matches windows time by a few seconds. I changed the battery again just in case and Im going to test it today. Thanks for the link to mshelp, the scenarios didnt realy apply to me, I do not have advanced power management settings in my bios and I uninstalled my virus scan to be sure. Could the clock be bad?
Thanks in advance

I suppose it could but not likely.
Are you totally up to date with Windows Updates? Try doing that also.
Why don't you let WinXp sync. with the Internet Time Server?
