There used to be a piece of shareware that would check an atomic clock, set
your clock, register the difference, keep a tab of how far off your clock
gets, and then start adjusting the system clock dynamically to keep it
closer to "true". I don't remember the name of the software, but a search at
hotfiles.com or download.com should turn it up if it's still around...

HTH,

        Simple answer, you can't. PC clocks are notorious for being
inaccurate
(although 1/2 hour is a little more than normal. My recommendation is to get
one of those pieces of software which synchronizes your local clock with one
of the time servers on the net. If you are connected to a LAN you could
synchronize with the server itself. Aside from that you can always change
the MB. :( Hope this helped, TTYL
