Ok real fast. When in the MA... My time and the MAs time for everyone else seems to be off by about a minute. I first noticed it a while back in a mission when everyone rolled exactly a minute before I rolled... Now its the same everytime, and when I ask others what time they have and compare it to mine in the map room, mine is a minute behind. A minute my not seem like a big deal but when you launch in a mission its nice to roll with everyone else rather than be lagging behind way out of sight. Help me please

Sounds like your computer is losing clock ticks. What operating system are you running?

Win XP Home

I know there was a problem with some computers/motherboards losing clock ticks with 2K/XP, but MS released a fix for that. I am assuming you have all the XP updates.

The only other thing I can think of is possibly something causing the CPU to be too busy to catch the clock ticks, even though it is the highest priority interrupt (next to NMI), it is possible to lose those ticks when the CPU is overloaded.
