Codez Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I have a crappy old system, and it's really slow. I have a habit of often doing battery pulls, however this often requires me to edit my date and time settings. Due to this, my Dropbox folder cannot sync. So can anyone tell me a good Application/program which can automatically update my date and time settings on startup. I don't mind if its online, because I have a steady Wi-Fi Connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 +BudMan MVC Posted September 17, 2012 MVC Share Posted September 17, 2012 Battery pulls? What your cmos battery? Why and the hell should you have to do that? What do you think that is fixing? Just use NTP, this is the standard tool for setting time across every OS out there. Here is a good site for windows port of it. http://www.meinberg.de/english/sw/ntp.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Max Norris Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 It's already built into the OS.. by default it runs once per week but you can just edit the job to run on startup instead. deactivated_ 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know I shouldn't be pulling my battery, but I have a Toshiba Satellite U3150 with about 1gb ram, so my screen hangs a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 rfirth Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Where did you say you had a laptop? Didn't dawn on me you were talking about pulling battery on laptop. And good reason for that... removing a laptop battery shouldn't cause the time to reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 The_Decryptor Veteran Posted September 18, 2012 Veteran Share Posted September 18, 2012 Maybe the CMOS battery should be removed and replaced then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
