Computer problem
Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 1:55 pm
Well, thought I'd throw this out here as the leader of Everyday Systems is a computer programmer and there are probably lots of very informed "geeks" available to give advice.
I thought of going on a tech forum, but I'm too lazy to try and sift through the thousands that are out there.
The problem I have is that the time on the computer keeps resetting itself back one hour every day.
I keep resetting it forward and this just doesn't stick.
I am fairly certain there's something wrong with the Windows because it's not updating properly.. At least that's what I assume it is.
The computer also doesn't shut down properly.
Whenever we go to shut it with the startup menu, and choose Turn off, it always ends up restarting, so we have been having to shut it off manually each time (which I imagine can't be good for it..???)
Anyone know anything about how to fix this?
I'm on the verge of just reinstalling the Windows, as this computer was purchased new and we have the restore disks to do that.
It's just time consuming.
But if that's the answer, I'll just do it.
Thanks in advance!
