Calender problem

I have Windows XP Professional edition and live in Asia. I have a problem
with my calender:every few weeks it tends to jump ahead a day, sometimes even
2 days. I have no problem with my clock, which is linked to windows.time &
is synchronised weekly. So sometimes I get restore points made tomorrow! I
wouldn't mind if it also gave me tomorrow's stock market results, but it
doesn't. Is this a hardware problem or software? Can I replace the Windows
calender with one that works properly, & can you recommend a simple one?
Many thanks in advance.

Re: Calender problem

Change your clock sync server to tock.usno.navy.mil and test.

RE: Calender problem

Well, thanx, but why should that help? The clock works perfectly, it's the
calender that's in error. Tell me more, please.

Re: Calender problem

You don't say when this problem occurs therefore, each time the clock syncs
'could' be when it happens. There have been many clock sync servers causing
problems. Could be because changes had to be made due to changes in when
daylight savings time changes. ( Calendar has to change with time )
