NTL, And System Clock

[kavozzy]

How can I stop "NTL" from changing my computer system clock?
I use the system clock as my screen saver, But "NTL" keep changing the set time, Sometimes it can be as much as 6 minutes slow,
I've tried to contact them, But you know what its like

Just exactly how do NTL keep changing the system clock. Surely this is part of your pc and NTL shouldn't be able to access it. Maybe you battery on the mainboard is failing and this is causing it to lose time. It's a flat silver thing smaller than a 10p piece. Don't cost much.

right i'm guessing that your screensaver takes its time from windows.


if you double click the clock in the "start bar" on the right a window should come up "date and time properties" click the end tap at the top " internet time" and update time try using "time.windows.com"

There is a "Allow time update" Checkbox on the "NTL" dial up Configuration settings, This box is ticked, But is also shaded out, so you cannot uncheck it,
If I correctly reset the system clock whilst offline, It will automatically reset again to the wrong time as soon as I go back online

Thanks for your replies chaps/chapesses, It's now sorted,
It was NTLs configuration settings, I finally got through to them
