    Hi,
    I set the task scheduler to run a few programs each day- Spybot, Adaware etc, but I see it has not happened. I looked in the Administrative logs and saw an error message that the programs could not start because the clocks were not synchronized? How do I fix this. Thanks

    Try this:

    On the affected machine, open a command prompt. Type 'w32tm /resync /rediscover' (without the quotes) This command will sync the local machines time according to your W32time architecture.

    Or, if you do not use the w32time service, you can sync the clock with another machine by issuing the command 'net time \\remotecomputer /set /yes', where remotecomputer is the name of the computer you would like to sync with.

    Is your system time accurate?

    If not, double-click time (bottom-right hand corner), then select Internet Time tab and click Update Now.
