When all else fails, you can use a time sync program to reset your clock
whenever you log onto the internet. There are several available at the
following website. I have been using AboutTime for a year now and it works
fine.

After experiencing task bar clock differences with real time on my new
Gateway PII, they instructed me to format a bootable disk (FORMAT A:/S) at
C:\, then use DOS "TIME" command to set the clock for the current time, and
let the system sit at the C:\ for a period. I did it overnight, and the
next morning seletec "TIME" again and there was no difference with actual
time. I have not determined which software application is intefering with
the PC clock, but know that the quartz clock retains accurate time.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Why does my PC make such a poor clock?
I've been asked to explain why the current time shown in many applications
is often so far off from a wall clock - often losing or gaining several
seconds a day. I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction
for a fairly technical reference.
