Okay, this might be confusing and an obscure problem. To make matters worse--my father attempted to "fix" the problem, but created a whole new problem in the process.
My clock on my laptop is off by about five minutes. Back a few months ago, I was always having problems with it being off by several hours and having to manually go in and tell it to update.
So, yesterday, I tried to update the clock by letting it sync with a server. None of them would work. It said that the "RPC server is unavailable" or something like that. I thought it was my firewall so I completely disabled it and made sure that windows firewall was disabled. It didn't work. I even disabled my anti virus and any other program that didn't need to be running at the time and tried again. Nope, it said the server was unavailable no matter what server I tried to sync with.
I went into administrative tools>services to see if the service was on, and it wasn't. So I tried to start it and it wouldn't. Said something about something not being associated with it.
I went to class and my dad said it would fiddle with it. I come back home and he says, "well, I think I broke it."
Now, when I go to update the time, everything in "internet time" is greyed out. In my services tab, "Windows Time" or whatever it was called, is gone. How could an essential service (I thought!) be gone?! I mean, the clock still works and all...but I just want the right time!
I have no clue of what my dad did and quite frankly, neither does he. How can I fix this? I want my time back! Help. It's driving me bonkers.
