Hi,
I have reinstall my windows XP and also reinstall my motherboard drivers.But the problem is when i go to 'Device Manager',I saw a yellow '?' under 'Real Time Clock'.I do not know what it is and why is there a question mark on it.Is it becaue I have installed the wrong motherboard drivers?I have received replies from other forum and they told me to install Retro chipset VIA 4in1 drivers for my system.Perhaps I can give you information of my system and hope you can advice if I have installed the correct drivers for my motherboard.
My computer brand Name: VIA Technologies
Motherboard Vendor : VTech
Motherboard Model : 2A6LGV3G
Chipset Model : VIA VT82C693 Apollo Pro Plus Chipset
System Memory : 256 MB(SDRAM)
BIOS Model : Award Modular Bios v4.51PG
BIOS Vendor : Award Software Inc.
CPU Type : Intel Pentium IIIE,800 MHz(6x133)
Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Pro Service Pack2
OS Platform/Version : NT Platform Version 5.1(Build2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519)

wow thats a weird problem, that should be built into the bios... i'd say right click on the device that has the yellow question mark, and click update drivers. if not, id say try clearing the cmos, or flashing the bios.

The real time clock is the onboard clock on your motherboard, and is also where windows gets its time. I would try downloaded the VIA 4in1 drivers.

Is the time set right in the bios

As stated above by Fade, if new driver installations does not fix the problem, try resetting CMOS. Does your clock in Windows move either too fast or too slow?
