T60p question

[JalopyBob]

Hello, I bought a new T60p about 3-1/2 months ago. It has worked very well so far but seems to have one odd quirk. Once every 7 to 10 days the clock resets the time to 2 hours earlier than the actual time. I have reset the time in the control panels and it will remain correct for a few days and then reset itself again. Would anyone have any ideas on a fix for this? Thanks!

I should have said that it is running XP Pro

Check the following thread out:

Clock keeps shifting and Time Auto-update does not work

It's rare for a new machine but your thinkpad might require a replacement of CMOS battery.

Have you set the Windows time zone to whatever is correct for your locality?

If not, you may have just changed the displayed clock time, and then when Windows does a periodic clock sync with a time server, it is resetting the time to a time zone which is two hours different from your actual location.

Cheers,
