Time Has Stopped

Surely windows shouldn't mess up when it comes to showing the time. It can't be that bad. Obviously I was wrong...

Well.. surely you don't expect the jpeg to be interactive?

No, compare the two dates. The clock in the notification area reads 19:35 but the applet clock reads 20:57.

It would appear it keeps freezing on 19:35... frozen again today; just noticed it.

Annoying

Have you tried these?

No, the only work with bunnies stupid!

Well... even a broken clock is right once a day. If you switch to 12 hr format, it'll be doubled.

Your taskbar exists outside our Space Time Continuum and thusly exists in a different time, duuhhh.



I assume you've tried restarting the Windows Time service?

Duracell is not the bunny! Enegerizer is the bunny...

Not quite sure why someone would photoshop the Energizer bunny on a pack of duracells...?

Not Photoshop...

It's an old ad campaign...  Duracell stopped it in the US but they still use it in other places.

Wow. I never knew that. Thanks for the wiki link. That is strange that duracell didn't sue for copyright infringement.

Whoa, I didnt know that either. I guess you do learn something new every day.

... could be part of the complete f-up that is the windows time synchronization that just doesn't work at all anymore unless you use a military time server and has been broken since the early change over for DST in the US/Canada.

I can't believe that it's almost 6 months later and MS still hasn't fixed it! Tons of computers not with the right time because of this!

I can confirm this as a real problem. I have personally experienced this on several occasions. When it happens for me it can stay that way for hours until I do something about it.

I've actually seen that happen a couple of times myself, but it seemed that it was a drawing issue, not actually a problem with the system clock; resizing the taskbar fixed the problem.

It seems to be working now... we'll have to wait until 19:35 to truly find out!
