Web Development Insight

This is a bit off the subject but is important.

I noticed my computer time was off a few minutes. Big deal. But when I tried to update the time (in XP double click on the time in the notification area, internet time tab, then ‘update now’ button) an error occurred (RPC not available). I tried this with a few different time servers (I use clock.via.net) and all gave the same problem.

Without boring details, what I did was verify the operating system files were intact and correct.

This sounded like a long shot but amazingly it worked.

I would recommend doing an operating system verify once a month or if you have strange problems with your computer.
