Problem with clock on PC

[Slodge123]

I have just installed a new motherboard in my PC. Reinstalled Windows 7, WoW & HB and was happily watching my bot when I realised the PC clock was exactly 1 day fast. ie Its saying Saturday when its actually Friday. I change the time to be correct and my bots dont work anymore?

When I try to log into either GB or HB I just get the warden check in progress webpage and no matter how long I wait it never starts the bots.

So I changed the clock back and now both HB & GB work again.

Any ideas how I can resolve this?

The BIOS clock is showing the correct date and time.

Windows 7 64 bit
4GB RAM
Fresh Partition on HDD when I rebuilt the system
Everything else freshly installed

have you tried to restart your pc after the date/time change?

Do the following:

1. Right click your clock
2. Click "Adjust Date/Time"
3. Click the "Internet Time" tab
4. Click "Change Settings"
5. Check off "Synchronize with an Internet Time Server"
6. Put in "pool.ntp.org" and click "Update Now"

Now it should keep the correct time.

Yes I restarted when I checked the BIOS

Now it should keep the correct time.

Thats the trouble it doesn't work if the time is correct only when I set the clock 1 day fast?

Ah I get it.

Instead do this:
1. Start -> Run -> Regedit
2. Navigate to HKEY_Current_User -> Software -> Look for a random 9-10 digit number (Mine for this example is 2007839768)
3. Expand the random number and look for a LastUpdate folder
4. Right Click LastUpdate and Delete it

Should run fine now.

Did not know that little trick there, I'm gonna keep that one written down somewhere as I've run into that same issue way back when on a clients PC.

I seem to be getting this problem a lot, have had to delete the Lastupdate Reg Key 3 times this weekend. Im running 64 bit Windows 7.

Any ideas why?

Its the only time I ever get the Warden Check error webpage.
