Synchronize the system clock with Internet server

[jonisaksson]

Hello

On my home computer, if I click on the Windows clock I have an option to synchronize the clock with time servers.

Whereas on my work computer I don’t have that option, even though both computers are running Windows XP SP2.

My obvious suspicion is that this is some sort of admin settings that has disabled this function.
But even if I log in as a local admin to the machine dont I seem to have this option.
Does anyone know what setting governs this tab.

Obviously not a serious issue but quite annoying as my work laptop is rubbish on keeping the time

Thanks
Jon

Click start/run and type services.msc into the run box and press the enter key.

When the window appears, maximise it. Look for the Windows Time service. Double click on it and set the startup type to automatic. Click the start button, followed by apply ok. Close the services window and reboot the computer.

Regards Howard
