Hi all,

I finally have my new T-61 P... have to say.. I am quite glad with its performance. Ran Half-Life episode 2 on nearly Full resolution.

So performance in programs is pretty good. however... windows .. may sometimes seem a little sluggish.. but only because I have 3Gigs of RAM and I was hoping a significant burst in speed because of it.
any thoughts on tHIS?

Another thing that's bugging me is.. ( THIS IS where I NEED your HELP) My clock keeps jumping a day ahead. I set it to eastern pacific time.. and every time I try to autoupdate the time from the windows server it gives me an error. If i change the time myself.. and then restart the machine.. the time would've jumped ahead.

Now I know it may possibly be the battery in the motherboard.. but could it really?? because this is a spanking new machine and I would imagine they put in new batteries in new machines.

Lastly.. I have one stuck pixel.. you can't see it.. only if i look really hard for it... any remedy for this?

Thanks.. any help on the clock would be greatly appreciated

Hey guys... forgot to mention.. Im running on XP sp2... If that's useful ...

Do you have your time zone location properly set up? See also following thread for other time servers.
