Hi,

I just saw a pop-up box saying  'Idle Full System Scan' completed. I don't normally bother to look, but did anyway. This was the log:

Checked my clock, all seems to be in order:

Just wondering if anyone else has a similar error in their logs.

Thanks

Hi Johna:

You might have a look in your event viewer.  My computer has also been keeping correct time, but according to event viewer I had a w32time error.  Microsoft has a patch for it, or you can change the site for synchronization in a tab in the clock settings.

Hi delphinium

Thanks for the tip, I had a look in event viewer and sure enough, there were the w32time error logs. I searched Microsoft KB and found the fix, you may want to apply it yourself, if you haven't already that is.

How to Fix Time Error

1] Open a Command Prompt, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt. 
 
2] In the Command Prompt type the following commands. After each command press the Enter key.:-
 
    net stop w32time  
    w32tm /unregister 
    w32tm /register    
    net start w32time 
 
3] Close the Command Prompt window.

As far as I could see the error only applies to situations where windows is unable to connect to time server to synchronize the clock, I can't see how that would make a difference to anything if the time was correct in the first place?

Thanks again.

Thanks Johna:

I gave that a try.  I changed time servers as suggested elsewhere but it didn't serve the purpose.
