Sheri, I don't know why you would be losing time, but go to

H&b= to download Dimension 4. It is a freeware utility that will
automatically synchronize your clock with the Naval Observatory's atomic
clock.  You can set it to operate the way you want it to.  I set it to check
when I first log on to the internet.  So far, the maximum correction
required has been less that a tenth of a second.  A bonus is an accurate
source for setting other timepieces.    Jim
