I've been having a problem with computers at work, and have no idea what's going on. On top of that I have no idea who to ask for suggestions. So I figured I'd post it here, since most of solutions I get to solve problems have come from suggestions here on the UT.

Basically, a computer in the office will lose an hour. It can be any computer (besides our NT servers), it can be any time. It is completely random. I haven't been able to find a pattern. We have about 15 inexpensive computers (200-550 Mhz pentiums), all running Windows 95/98, used mainly for data entry. The data entry part isn't a problem, since I programmed the DB to use the time on the server, and not on the individual workstations. But some of the computers are used for other purposes (email) that time-stamp some of the procedures.

Almost everyone of the computers has lost an hour at one time or another. Some have lost an hour more than once in a day. As I said before, it is completely random.

Most of the units are brand new, and the time lost is exactly an hour, so I'm ruling out problems with the batteries. We've scanned again and again for viruses, and haven't been able to come up with anything.

Has anyone ever experienced a similar problem? I'd love to hear an explanation for this, or suggestions on solutions.

Thanks!
