Title: Re: getting list emails out of order

Jim,

 

There is a bug in Win 9x that doesn't handle the clock correctly when some screen savers or anti-virus checkers are in use.  However, your situation seems extreme.  Have you changed out the battery in the PC?

 

You might want to consider running a program that implements SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol).  There is a pretty interesting article from '99 in News/400 if you want to write one yourself (maybe write the server side for the AS/400 and then your PC will be in sync with it!) - http://www.as400network.com/resources/artarchive/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewarticle&CO_ContentID=2926.  If you just want to keep your PC in sync with an atomic clock, Tucows has an entire section devoted to these programs, including several freeware programs.  The Tucows mirror I use lists these at http://www.ou.edu/tucows/sync95.html.

 

Good luck!

Chuck
