time troubles

Hi,
Let me start off by apologizing in advance for any spelling errors. I have been having trouble changing the time and date settings. I get the error "You do not have sufficent privelages to perform this operation" even when I'm logged in as the adminstrator in safe mode. I tried havng the computer setting the time with the syncronization settings but it just tells me that there was an error. I have searched google, yahoo and this site for answers and haven't found anything.
Thanks
P.S. I may have posted this already I had an error last time and can't find the post.

Hello,
Interesting problem ...
1) Did you get this error from the clock on the taskbar (clicking the time, clicking date and time settings, and then Change Date and Time)
- If not, what did you do that caused the error?
2) When doing that, does the system ask you for permission to continue, or if not, did you disable those messages?
- If you disabled those messages, what steps did you take to do so?
Try doing this:
- Click start - Type cmd - When cmd appears under Applications, right-click cmd and click Run As Administrator - type: time - Press enter - Follow the prompts
Does this work?

1.) Yes that it what I was doing that got me the error message
2.) I turn those setting off by going to the Control Panel (classic view) then to User Accounts and clicking on Change Security settings. Then just uncheck the check box and click ok (or continue can't remember which).
I tried what you said but when I entered the correct time it said "A required privilege is no held by the client".

Sorry for posting that so many times. This site must not like safari

Weird ... I did the same thing (turned of UAC and then tried to change the time) and it worked fine for me ...
Try turning UAC back on, restarting your computer, and then changing the time ... and see if that works.

I turn UAC back on and I get a UAC warning message which I click continue on and then get the error message

OK ... *cracks knuckles*
Try this ...
- Click Start - Click Control Panel - Click System and Maintenance - Click Administrative Tools - Double-Click Local Security Policy - In the left pane, click the triangle next to Local Policies - In the left pane, click User Rights Assignment - In the right pane, double-click the option that says "Change the system time"
This box should contain: Administrators and LOCAL SERVICE
Is that what your says? If not, add the account(s) that are missing:
- Click Add User or Group - Type the name that is missing - Press enter - Repeat if neccisary - Click OK to apply those changes - Try to change the time
Did that help?
- JB

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *creepy man hug of joy* Finally something that works. Thank u so much.

You're welcome.
That's pretty weird though, that permission being removed ... very strange indeed.
