Alternatively you could press the Windows Key(look for it next to the Ctrl button at left-bottom of the screen) and the R key together i.e. Win Key+R to open the Run window.

You could even directly right click the time in the taskbar and click Adjust Date/Time to check whether its correct or not.

That screenshot is much more than I could hope for thanks!!!!!!!!!

Ohh by the way it now works!!!! thanks to everyone!!!!!!
