Clock running slow
I built a machine for my father recently. It is a KM4M-L board with 256 DDR SDRAM ruing Wn 98 second edition. The clock is always slow and the mouse is sticking on occasion. I recently changed his hard drive from a 13 gig running at ATA 33 to a 30 gig running ATA 100 and although it helped some there is still a problem. DOes anyone have any advice? Do I need to upgrade his machine to WinXP Pro. Thanks in advance.

yes, which clock do you mean? CPU clock or the system time clock? i had an issue with my mobo when i first got it and i thought the battery was going dead too. the issue was that my bios and win clock would not keep time properly and if i turned off computer for a while, it would seem as tho i was turning it on for 1st time. well, i was going to get a new battery, but then decided to check the jumper, just in case it was set to clear. i didnt think this would be the issue tho since the comp shouldnt boot if the jumper is in clear. looking at my mobo, msi completely forgot to put a jumper in the board in the 1st place! took a jumper from a old pos i had laying around, put in in 1&2, and everything has worked fine since.

LUMIA 800 - Clock running slow!
Hi there,
I have a bizarre problem with my Lumia 800 running on Optus - the clock runs slow! I have had to set the clock multiple times since I got it, and within about a week of setting it each time the clock is several minutes behind time. **bleep** about a fortnight of setting it the time reads over 10 minutes behind where it should be. I've noticed that unlike on a lot of other phones, there is no 'sync time automatically' or similar feature on the Lumia 800.
**bleep** a quick Google search, the only other mention I found similar to this problem was on another Nokia thread, of people on 3 UK complaining that their clock was actually running too fast:
/t5/Nokia-with-Windows-Phone/On-board-clock-waaay-fast-Lumia-800/td-p/1334499
Unfortunately there didn't seem to be a solution to their problem
For the record my phone was purchased through Optus, and I haven't made any modifications to it whatsoever. I have updated it with the latest firmware, however the problem has persisted since I first got the phone.
Can anyone please help me?Hi all, sorry for the delay getting back to you - for the record, I'll second the above replies and say that there's definitely no option to set time automatically on my Lumia 800..
Strangely enough, my issue resolved itself after a few months and I have no idea what fixed it!
On perhaps an unrelated note, for a period of about a month or two, my phone would routinely notify me about a new software update that was available. I connected my phone to the computer and updated the software, only for it to tell me a few days later that another update was available. After a couple of weeks of this, I looked into the update version and found it was the same update every time. Once again, this makes no sense to me whatsoever.
I have to say that I was really excited when I bought the Lumia 800, thinking that Microsoft (and Nokia) would bend over backwards to support the few customers that made the switch from iPhones etc. to such a fledgling platform, but I've since found that after-sales support has been pretty poor (evidenced in part by the lack of official response to this thread). I'm also really disappointed that Microsoft have essentially ditched their most loyal customers by upgrading to Windows Phone 8 without support for 7.5 users. Instead we've been waiting in the dark for the 7.8 update that still hasn't come out yet..
Apologies for the rant, thanks to the above users for trying to help me out - hope your phone issues resolve themselves also! -
Clock running slow on iPod touch
Hello all, I am experiencing an issue with my iPod touch's clock running slow. I believe I have a 2nd generation and am running OS 4. I checked to see if my PC's clock is slower but it is not. Does anyone have any ideas?
How slow? Many users have reported hours or days ahead or behind on iOS4. I have read on other posts that doing a full restore fixes the problem. Here is how:
To do a full restore:
- Start iTunes and plug in your device.
- Under Devices, click on your device.
- On the Summary page there are two buttons: 'Check for Update' and 'Restore'.
- Click Restore.
- The system will back up your device, then reset it to factory specs, then restore from the backup. This takes QUITE a while, depending on how much stuff you have on there.
Doing this seems to have solved the problem for me. I haven't had it randomly change the time in the 6 days since I posted my message.

You don't say whether your Lumia 800 is network branded or not and if provider does not support "network time" this feature may be absent.
There are also problems in the way the phone gets the time which is probably using NITZ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NITZ) so device may easily be 3 - 4 minutes off satellite time.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5 -
Time indicator (clock) runs slow and getting slower
I have had problems with the clock for quite some time. First, when I travel, if the computer is shut down and only on battery for quite along time, when I restart the computer, the clock needs to be reset before the system will boot.
This past week the clock has started to run slow. And it's getting slower.
Any ideas what's wrong?
T43p that ran out of warranty two months ago.
Thanks,

Clock runs slow, but BIOS shows right time.
This is a bit of a strange problem. My clock keeps running slow. I tried ntp, and just couldn't seem to get it working, so then I switched to openntp, and the logs show it adjusting my clock. My hardware clock keeps correct time, so I know it's not a battery issue. It seemed to be working fine for two days, at one point, then all of a sudden started running slow again. I've never had this problem before, but I recently switched to 64bit arch, so I thought that might have something to do with it, but that doesn't really make any sense. Any ideas?
Here's a quick update. In addition to my messed up clock, I also noticed that CD audio play in double time. So, I figured that it was the double time bug (although my clock was running slow, and not fast :S), so I added no_timer_check to menu.lst. That fixed my CD audio problem, but my clock is still running slow!
If no one has any idea how to fix this, is there at least somewhere else I can look? -
Clock running slow...sometimes by 4 hours
This is a new issue I noticed since yesterday....clock was slow by 4 hours...adjusted it manually and today it was slow by 30 minutes. Any ideas on how to keep it synched to an external site like you can on an PC? Thanks
This is not an uncommon problem and has been discussed here before. I suggest you search the iPad forum, using the search function on the right, for:
time AND (loosing OR slow) -
Why is clock on phone losing about 3-4 minutes a day?
Sounds like it isn't syncing correctly with either your network time or network time zone settings.

STRANGE!!! Windows Xp clock running fast....
Hi guys. Youve helped me in the past so I hope you can help me again!
My MSI system has been running solid as a rock for about 1and1/2years now. Very happy with it. untill now..
It all started after I installed a bluetooth dongle (or so i though). I suddently realised that my xp clock was running fast about 10seconds every minute. I though this is weird so did the obvious things... restarted comp checked bios which was running fine. It is only when I get into windows that it starts to run fast. I uninstalled the bluetooth software thinking it was the culprit but obvoisuly wasnt. I then decided it was about time that i reformatted again anyway so reformatted and sure enough it fixed the problem, proving to me that it is a software problem not a hardware. Then, after about 4 months of my new reformatted system being up and running it suddenly has started doing it again. I havent even installed the bluetooth software or anything that is obviouslty the problem. I dont know if this has anything to do with it but my firewire card has also stopped working for somereason. I replaced it with a new one and that doesnt work either!
Any ideas anyone, ive searched the whole forum and internet and it doesnt seem like a common problem!
Many thanks
Jon.Hello hurndall:
I see you are running XP/SP2 with all patches. Besides that, are you running any third party software that monitors communication? Looking at this from the paranoid perspective, have you run a spyware/malware sweep of your system?
The Windows Time service that you stopped is used to synchronize time across a network and does not directly control your RTC. Unless systems on your network are using it there will be no effect, so you can probably leave it stopped.
Regarding your fast clock problem, I have had this type of problem on PC platforms that were using the RTC interrupt to start background tasks such as data logging or other hardware. The hardware RTC clock uses IRQ 8; old MS-DOS software would modify the code associated with this interrupt to give pseudo-real time operation to specific processes. As I recall there is/was a timer that pinged this IRQ at 13.8 ms intervals and so kept the clock going. Although the usual symptom in these cases was a clock running SLOW, not fast, it is possible to have a clock run fast due to a bug in the added software.
You can do a rudimentary check on your system by starting Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager - View - Resources By Connection - IRQ
Look at IRQ 8 - it should only be associated with the RTC function.
This is probably not going to get you anywhere but it is something that should be checked anyway.
Looking at your problem from the other direction, it seems that your system has issues with communication devices - Bluetooth, FireWire and now Remote Login. I'm not sure how you are communicating with your system remotely (network - i.e., ethernet or dial-up, i.e., modem), but you might want to reinstall/update the drivers associated with your Ethernet or Modem hardware. Since the problem seems to go away on a reinstall, which refreshes all these drivers, you might want to try this. It's a lot simpler than a reinstall.
The Remote Login Service installs and/or starts a number of services that depend on the svchost.exe module. It seems unlikely that there is a problem there but you might want to make sure that svchost.exe is truly the SP2 version or whatever is the most recent. I don't know if any patches since SP2 have modified it. You could look at another XP system can check the properties of svchost.exe.
My system reports
File Version 5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Product Version 5.1.2600.2180
for svchost.exe
Sorry I can't give you any more specific help.
Good luck,

5800 xpress music.Clock is running slow.
The Time in my 5800 xpress music changes aautomatically.Its running slow.I had corrected the time 2 weeks back and now its 10 mins slow. Automatic Time update option is turned OFF.Pleaase help me...
It's a well-known bug in the 5800. In fact a cursory search on these forums will probably return many hits.
Google for a piece of software called FreeTimeBox. You can set it to sync your clock using NTP protocol whenever you switch the phone on.

MacBook Pro Stalls/Running slow since Mavericks Installation
On the advice of the more experienced here is a new thread.
Since installing Mavericks my MBP has gone from pretty much an instant response to requests, to stalling, the spinning pinwheel, longer startup and shutdown times, as well as slower access to websites (Chrome and Safari, though Safari appears slower).
I have been advised to run EtreCheck when I first joined a post regarding the same problem. I posted the results and was advised to work through some of the issues. This is the initial test result and the very much appreciated advice.
NOTE - EXTENSIVE TEXT TO FOLLOW.
I don't have a specific fix from your report, but I can point out what other users have had issues with.

Red is the items I'd look at these are mostly 'system level' - they can alter a lot in the OS. Check the developers website, update or remove the apps if the developer doesn't say it supports 10.9 or if you can live without them.
Soundflower is out of date & it is a 'kernel extension', the kernel is the core of the OS - you don't want any old code running here.
The installer has a removal tool too https://code.google.com/p/soundflower/ so update or remove it if you don't use it.
Update or remove Paragon's NTFS tool, it is running at a system level & it's background jobs seem to be in a 'problem state', it also has something running in the kernel.
Adobe has an updater running, try to ensure Adobe's apps are all up to date, just incase they have stopped checking. Repeat with Google's apps, just launch the apps & look in the 'App menu' or the Help menu for updates. These companies tend to reinstall the updaters if you try to delete them, so there it little you can do but keep the apps updated.
It's odd that all your User Launch Agents: are not loaded, these are background jobs that start on login (if they are in a loaded state). The same principle applies, update or remove the related apps if they are not needed.
CleanMyMac is a concern - there are lots of posts here claiming it can break the OS - it can help you to remove files that are installed by Apple which is not the best idea. I am unconvinced that running 'maintenance utilities' all the time is a good idea, however the app removal tool may be OK for cases where a developer doesn't have an uninstaller. 'Cleaner apps' use RAM & can spend time scanning files which can slow other tasks. Search here for varied opinions on CleanMyMac. I also use ClamXAV, ensure that is upto date & so check it's engine & rules are current.
The purple items are 'user level' items (run on login of your account).
There is a simple way to see if your issues are because of 'user level' items, create a new test user account & login as that user. If the Mac is stable you can assume it is something within your 'user items'.
Check that you need the Login Items running every time you login. They are listed in System Preferences> Users & groups > select your account… login items tab.
You appear to have 3 LogMeIn internet plugins installed - is Safari behaving OK or running slow? I would consider removing most plugins & then installing them as you need them. You can look inside /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ to remove them manually.
~/Library is your 'home library' Use the Finders Go Menu > Open Folder… and enter ~/Library to reveal it. Apple hid this Library folder.
I'd be tempted to remove the Java applet plugin - old Java is a real secuity risk & Safari has probably disabled this for you already.
There seems to be 2 Facebook plugins installed (probably inside your ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/). Remove the oldest one & look for the newest release. Update the Safari Extension if it needs it too.
The Preference Panes are installed in /Library/PreferencePanes/ and ~/Library/PreferencePanes/. Open System prefs & launch each third party pref pane (the bottom rows) & check for updates if possible. These also have an ability to modify the OS, so any errors could effect everything. You can usually right click (or ctrl+click) to remove them from the preferences (it removes them from the OS, but may leave any libraries or extra tools behind - see if the developer has removal instructions).
I see you have Plex installed, does this run very often? I find it can drag a Mac to a slow crawl when it is indexing. I suspect Connect360 may do similar things, but I don't really know for sure what it does .
MenuTab for Facebook seems to be doing something with RAM & CPU, update or remove if you don't need it.
That may all be daunting, but it should help. Start with the system level items, and then look at updating the other items. You may find things improve after a cleanup & a reboot.
This was extremely helpful and I have gone as far as my knowledge will allow for now. I did make a bootable clone of the main HDD prior to doing anything, and now there seems to be little improvment following the suggestions made. Also along the way MacFuse was deleted and well as Flip4Mac and NTFS.
Things are far from perfect though and the MBP still stalls and is performing very poorly.

Java Thread.. System Clock gets slower..
Hello All!
I have never came accross such problem in my last 4 years of java development but right now its sucking my brain like any thing..
Let me clerify what my application is doing.
A node which is basically thread is executed and as it performs its job it is stopped by breaking the while loop like logic and then a method isRunnable() is called to calculate the time to run the thread again on the basis of pre-defined schedule (e.g. after 1 minute). so what i was doing in this method i was calling wait (sheduledMinutes*60*1000).
There are multiple nodes which can be run in parallel. Problem occured when some nodes started immediately or after a time much shorter than the value defined in wait() method.
So as an alternative way i decided to not rely on wait() and wrote my own implementaion i.e. i call wait(1000) in isRunnable() and the check if the current system time is less then the scheduled time. But it didn't work either.
The problem revealed when i printed the valued of current time taken by the system and the scheduled one. The System clock gives the current time which is less than the actual System time shown on windows clock. I dont know why but it seems like as my threads continue to run the system clock gets slower or something and returns an old time. Hence nodes start immediately.
Any solution to this problem would be highly appreciable.
Regards,Well yeah u r right. I figured it out that it was just my threads running slowly. But the threads ran immediately there was another reason for that. My threads were waiting for the sheduled minutes to run again. In the mean while if i presed the stop button to stop the thread i was just setting the stop variable value to true. Which was basically the check in the while loop in run method. U can notice the thread still sleeping due to the call to wait method. And then if again mean while i press start button i called System.gc(). and then pass the current thread to new Thread like Threa t = new Thread(node); t.start();
Now u can c another thread has been created but the last one was not collected by the garbage collector as it was still waiting and doing something ofcourse not dead. So now when new thread stops these was a possiblity of last thread ( one in waiting state) to run according to schedule and it make the current thread run immediately.
I hope u can understand how difficult it was for me to figure this thing out :)
But after 3/4 hours hair tearing i got the bug and then when i was stopping a thread i infact broke the waiting loop as well. Now the thread was dead and collected by garbage collector before new thread could start :)
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh sometimes programmign really sucks.
Have fun. and thanx for ur concern..

Hi and thanks in advance for your help!
Please read specifications below. My iMacG5 (not intel) is running slow, particularly during start-up, which can take up to 4min. Internet is also slow. I have both Techtool pro and disk warrior (if they would help). I also have a ext HD if it would help to release things from HD. Thanks!
- i have no login items
- dashboard: weather, calculator, clock, calendar
- Internet: DSL
- Memory: 2Gb RAM
- Vram: 128Mb
- Processor: 2GHz
- OS: 10.5.6
- HD: Used: 98Gb Available: 134Gb
- Not using idisk (noted, slower if i do)Rod, Miriam, thanks.
I tend to believe that Disk warrior or Techtool pro would not fix the problem, simply because I have both of them and had used them every now and then and have not seen a significant improvement.
By the way, why disk warrior and not the performance tool on tech too?
So the software to clean cache suggested by Miriam and especially the hogging the CPU (i don't understand what that means) sounds like something to try.
Rod, I connect via ethernet using a comcast modem.
So I will run disk warrior first, then run the application suggested by miriam, then will address the hogging the cpu issue and go frm there...
Miriam, I have a full back up on an ext HD.
In the meantime, here is the printout from the activity monitor window under the tab "process name". If you tell me what to look for I will check...
