Losing system date in windows XP Pro

I have two "number crunchers" based on K7N2GM-V motherboards that run 24/7 with the CPU pegged at 100%. Both have AMD Athlon barton core CPUs. One has a XP 2600 (OPN AXDA2600DKV4D) and the other has a 2500 (OPN AXDA2500DKV4D). The 2600 was clocked 2.25GHz (2252MHz) - 11.5 x 195.8 but has since been lowered to 11.5 x 193.75 = 2228.11MHz. The 2500 is clocked at 11 x 200 = 2199.96MHz. Both have a single stick 256MB of PC3200 at CL2.0-3-3-7. Both are running aftermarket air coolers. Both running Windows XP Pro, the 2600 has SP1, the 2500 has SP2. Both of these do nothing but run the BOINC platform number crunching science projects. No monitor, no keyboard, no mouse, no add-in cards (KVM switched if I have to get to BIOS) but are accessed with RealVNC. Just Mobo, CPU, PSU and 1 HDD all wire tied into stackable plastic baskets (see pic on website if interested). I have 6 of these but these two are MSI mobos.
My problem is both of these have on occasion lost the windows date (usually reverting to sometime in the year 2000) which causes my app all sorts of problems. The 2500 has not done it to me in a few weeks. The more recently set up 2600 is loosing the date almost every 3rd day. I'm not sure if this is OC related or not but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. None of my other "crunchers" are giving me this problem, all are OC'd Barton or Thorton core based in ASRocks (1) and Gigabyte (3) mobos.
Thanx, Skip

I would say battery was going bad but it seems odd none of your other bios settings are affected. Try clicking on the windows clock and looking under Internet Time and set it find time in certain intervals so it stays updated.
I've never seen any way to set the interval in Win XP... I think it's once a week. I did write a .bat file last night and put it in a daily schedule to sync that computer to my main desktop. I'm starting to wonder if these things sit in a warehouse too long and after a while get "charged up" since the 2500 which is maybe 4 months old gave me this problem for a while and now seems OK. The 2600 is new and giving me this problem again. Anyway... I'll check the battery tonight.

After system date/time reset macbook pro can't open any programs and access system preferences

Hi,
Booted my macbook pro 2009 and the time was reset to 2001, a prompt asked me to change settings or else the computer might function erratically. So i changed the date and time settings as suggested but then suddenly it stopped working. I restarted the computer but i could no longer open any programs. My dock was gone, the screen background was changed back to the original and i couldn't access the system preferences. Every time i click on the apple icon the screen just refereshes and that's it.
My laptop hasn't been turned off for the last 48 hrs before this happened. i was working and uploading huge files to dropbox and since my internet connection was really slow, i had to keep it on so it would upload continously. Was thinking this might have caused some malfunction.
Has anyone experienced this kind of issue?

You need to charge the computer, perhaps the battery went dead.
Do a SMC and PRAM reset, see if that assists.
Also hold the shift key after that upon boot, that will fix things
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3046
If you get into your account, see if system preferences opens and try to set the time and date, align with Apple's servers, reset the screen saver and desktop picture see if it holds upon a reboot
If not your going to have to delete your
com.systempreferences.plist
file in your
"User"/Library/Preference folder
Reboot the machine and then open System Preferences and reset your preferences.
Now in 10.6, the "User"/Library/Preference folder is not hidden
In 10.7 the "Users"/Library/Preferences folder IS hidden
so in 10.7 you need to use the Finder > Go To Folder and type
/Library/Preferences
and click OK
Then scoll down to the file above, there will be two of them perhaps, one is a lock file the other one you can Trash, so do that and reboot.

USB MIDI not working in Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

The problem is that even though my devices are recognized in Control Panel/ Sound and in Device Manager, no MIDI data actually flows and I cannot sync my keyboard to the Yamaha software that edits it. The error message in the Yamaha software reads
“The following MIDI ports can not be opened at this time”. At first, MIDI was working and I could sync up, but after about a week, right around the time I uninstalled and re-installed a MS Lifecam, it failed and has not worked since.
I have been working directly with Yamaha tech support on the issue for some time. I have a Yamaha SX70 XS keyboard, which is recognized by Windows as a connected USB device. It is self-powered, not powered by USB. I am using the Yamaha USB-MIDI driver version
3.1.2 for Windows 7 64-bit (the latest driver). And the latest versions of all their editing software for Win7 64-bit. They assure me that those work for other users of Win7 64-bit. In my case though, everything shows up in Windows, but MIDI doesn’t actually
work. And I cannot sync to the keyboard due to the above error message.
Yamaha tells me that their USB-MIDI driver is installing fine on my machine, except that it’s missing a windows driver at the bottom of the driver stack. (You can see this in Device Manager, Properties/Driver tab, then Driver Details. The missing driver
is ksthunk.sys, which I think handles kernel streaming. Sounds like that would relate to MIDI data. They have never heard of this driver not showing up there, and they cannot reproduce the problem. ksthunk.sys is on my machine in c:\windows\system32\drivers\
and in the registry the image path is \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\ksthunk.sys
All devices are “working properly” in Windows Device Manager, despite that missing driver. Yamaha MIDI Driver is shown in Control Panel/Sound, and it can be worked with there (opened, closed, configured, etc.). I have also tried three different USB
cables (but those shouldn't be an issue since the keyboard is showing up in Windows).
I was also advised by Yamaha to edit registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32 and remove all midi, midi1, midi2, etc entries, then uninstall and reinstall all drivers. Which I did, but it didn't help.
So far, no amount of re-installation, event viewing, uninstalling devices, numerous reboots,etc has fixed it. On this machine, that driver just doesn’t hook up to the Yamaha MIDI driver and show up in the stack.
So it looks like it may be a Windows 7 config problem on my machine, and I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice on how to fix it. The Microsoft forums contain a fair number of users reporting similar problems, some are audio and some are webcam
related. I've followed those threads, and done several of the suggestions, but haven't found a solution to this one.
This is a Dell XPS 8300 Windows 7 64-bit PC with all the latest updates, only about six weeks old. I've been struggling with the MIDI problem for most of that time. I'm an IT professional (network and systems admin), so you can be fairly technical
in your response.
Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks in advance.

I am so glad I found keyman7's description, since I have exactly the same problem.
The problem is not related to MIDI output! I have it with a pure USB-MIDI-input device (keyboard), whichs produces "unknown externeal error" every time I try to select it as input. The same thing occurs with a USB-MIDI-Cable.
I compared the driver details from my system (Dell T1500 windows 7 pro 64 bit) with those of another windows 7 pro 64 bit. On that other system the device works like a charm (so it is not the hardware, either).
On the other system I find ksthunk.sys in addition to the modules that are listed on my system as well (beeing \windows\system32\drivers\drmk.sys, ..\prtcls.sys, ..\USBAUDIO.sys and \windows\system32\SysFx.dll, ..\WMALFXGFXDSP.dll).
Can it be some other USB driver is interfering with this driver stack? I have no idea how to figure out which one it could be. Or, it has been suggested in other threads with somewhat similar looking symptoms, ksthunk.sys has been removed as UpperFilters
entry?
Help - please!

X200s on Windows XP Pro - System process around 50% after Standby or Hibernate

I have an x200s with the SU9300 1.2Ghz processor. I'm running with a clean installation of Windows XP Pro. I noticed less-than-expected battery life and found that after leaving the computer on for a number of hours (let's say overnight) and returning from Standby or Hibernate, I find that my "System" process takes up around 20-55% but usually hovers at 49-50% when the machine is idle. The "System Idle Process" will take up the remaining 50%. This is observed in the Windows Task Manager.
On my x60s with a core duo processor (and all my other desktops and laptops) the System process will usually be 0% when idle and the "System Idle Process" will be at 99%.
A restart of the computer will fix this issue until I go into Standby or Hibernate again. I usually went for days and sometimes weeks without restarting my x60s. This issue will cause me to get 30% less battery life and will make my system slower to respond, even when I'm typing this post, for example.
Anyone have experience or thoughts on this? Thank you

Any thoughts from anyone out there?

Folio13 Windows 7 pro 64, system image, restore fails

I have (10) HP Folio13, running Windows 7 pro 64, I have used the Windows 7 system tools, to create a system image onto a USB 2.0 external Seagate harddrive. It created fine.. to test it I tried to restore the image onto a different HP Folio13.
I hooked up an external USB cd-rom/dvd reader/write to either USB ports, and the USB Seagate hard drive to the other free USB port, thats on the HP Folio13. and I'm using a Windows 7 system restore disc. If the USB cd/dvd write is hooked up to the USB port on the left hand side, it crashes stating it can't find the x:\sources\recovery\tools\hp recovery manager.exe this application has request the runtime to terminate it in an unsual way please contact the application support team for more infomation, if i shutdown and place the cd/dvd drive into the USB port on the right hand side. it works.. and boots correctly but can't find the Windows system image, that exists on the USB external harddrive. I know that the USB windows system image is valid.. I was able to restore it too a differnet HP laptop a 8560w.. with the same boot disk, but since the HP 8560w has a built in cd reader.. all works well. I have updated the BIOS to the lastest as of today (F.18) I have updated the USB drivers, I have tired using F11 on the HP Folio and tried to restore it from that, but what comes up, does not support a system image restore, F11 only works for system restores.. I need some aid.. I have a valid Windows 7 system image on a external USB 2.0 hard drive. I would like to restore it to a HP Folio13.

Hello canadianguy2,
Your Folio13 is a Business model. Your issue would be best answered on the HP Enterprise Business Community Forum
Good luck!

Can I clean install a Windows 7 Pro System Builder on a Lenovo PC with Windows 8 preinstalled?

Hi. I would like to clean install windows 7 on a Lenovo PC that came with Windows 8 core preinstalled. I want to format the entire drive and remove windows 8 and clean install windows 7. I already tried the clean install of Windows 7 Pro to get all of my drivers in line, and now I would like to buy a Product Key.
Would a Windows 7 Pro System Builder work in my case? Would it work just as smoothly as a retail version? I understand that the System Builder is an OEM version that includes the Product Key, COA, and DVD) Just want to make sure before I buy the System Builder version of Windows 7 Pro. Thanks.

Go to Solution.

that should be retail since it seemed to be used for pc upgrades either way your new system builder key should work. those are called refresh because they re-released them sincea bug was found in thier installers. Do you have any key in the computer atm? or is windows just waiting to be activated?
EDIT: its a good copy look here> http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/14-windows-7-direct-download-links
Should you want to use the DVD images permanently, and don't own a product key yet, you can order a Windows 7 OEM or retail version from Amazon. The OEM reinstallation versions contain a DVD with a product key just like the retail versions. They are significantly cheaper, but lack a proper box packaging, and don't include technical support by Microsoft. The OEM key will work with the Digital River downloads, so you can just pick the cheapest one. Sometimes better editions are the cheaper ones, so all of the following links to Amazon offers might be worth checking. I've already tried to find good deals for all editions and linked to them here:

I have an HP Officejet Pro 7580 similar to the 8600 you have and after upgrading to Mountain Lion it wouldn't work. HP support site said download updates for Mountain Lion from App Store not their site so I went to software update but there were NO UPDATES FOR 10.8. Tried a million things and could not get printer to work. So I restored back to Lion figuring at least printer worked then only now I can't get it to work with old settings either. I am sick to death of claims by Apple and peripheral manufacturers that everything is compatible all you have to do is get updates well in this case THERE ARE NONE TO BE GOT and I don't have time to **** about trying to find 'work arounds'. There shouldnt be a need for work-arounds. Unless the updates are ready DONT release the new OS. You shouldn't have to be an IT tech to make basic things like printing work. I see also the HP 8600 is even sold by appstore so there is no reason why it shouldn't work with minimum fuss.

Hi,
Nearly all hardware vendors won't release drivers for Windows 10 until Windows 10 is officially released (not preview). Windows 10 should install drivers for your machine after few updates. Windows 10 can find all drivers (except one: finger print) for my 5 years old machine. It should be able to find drivers for newer machines).

Boot camp, non-system disk windows 7 pro

hello all,
I have a 13" Macbook Pro (7,1) mid 2010. I am attempting to use bootcamp to install windows 7 pro. at first, i could not select the "create windows 7 install disk" option. i then added my model and ROM version to the bootcamp info.plist after seeing multiple recomendations that this would solve the issue. i now have all options and can run bootcamp to install support files to usb and partion the disk. however, once my computer restarts i get a black screen that says "non-system disk. press any key to continue". I am forced to shutdown and hold option key to select mac hd to restart.
from other threads i have seen it sounds like since my mac has an optical drive it won't boot from usb, even after changing the info.plist in boot camp to try trick it. what do i need to do to complete the windows install? is it as simple as putting the windows .iso onto a cd/dvd and inserting it while i run bootcamp?
Thanks in advance

You should visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp rather than posting here in the Macbook Pro forum. The Boot Camp gurus hang out there and your issue has been answered several times. You must burn the iso onto a disk at the lowest speed (2x).
And here are the detailed installation instructions http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf.

KB2785094 fails on Windows 8 Pro N with 0x80070002 "The system cannot find the file specified."

Hi,
I'm getting 0x80070002 "The system cannot find the file specified." with KB2785094. I'm using Windows 8 Pro N. I've seen a few people with problems with this patch when I search online about it.
I've tried deleting everything in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore and C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads. I've run DISM /scanhealth and /restorehealth.
I also tried running WUSA with the /log option to try to find which file exactly is not found, but when I opened the log file in Event Viewer, it was empty.
How can I found out which file is causing the error?

I found the answer here:
http://www.eightforums.com/windows-updates-activation/17523-kb2785094-failure.html
And also by checking the files updated on the KB page: I had deleted the Accessibility and System Tools folders under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Once I recreated both those folders, it installed without error. Probably
it was Remote Desktop.lnk. I was getting the problem on 2 different computers.
Way to go Microsoft! Now I can't even move around my shortcuts without breaking stuff :)
