The Clock On My PC Is Speeding!

[Karabiner]

As per the title my PC's clock keeps getting ahead of itself and I have to correct it almost every day.

It's usually just a couple of minutes but today it was running five minutes fast and it really bugs me.

I think it has only started happening since I have been using chrome as my default browser but whether these are connected is beyond me by some considerable distance as my techno-duncery is well-known.

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Perhaps it's relativity - have you started moving really quickly recently (ie a substantial % of the speed of light)?

I think it's more likely that all the other clocks in the world have started going too slow.

Don't worry about us. We'll be fine.

Assuming you are on Windows 7.

Right click the clock in the lower right.

Select Adjust Date/Time.

Select the Internet Time tab

It should say "This computer is set to automatically synchronize with 'xxxxxxxxxx'.    <- something in place of the xxx'x

It probably doesn't so click Change Settings

In the server box put time.windows.com

Tick the box and press Update Now.

Hopefully that will keep it in sync.

I was thinking that perhaps I have an infestation of neutrinos.

Thank you very much.

You have no idea how clever it made me feel to type something new like that in the little box.
