It's my girlfriend's son's machine so I'll have to check.

I think it needs a reinstall though as someting seems broken in the security centre.

Cheers.

Otherwise, check you OS firewall as mentioned and your router if you have one and make sure UDP port 123 is open.

The time holds if I manually set it but reverts to completely the wrong time the following day.

I can't get into the firewall at the moment, the security centre seems broken.
