The problem might be a problem inherent to your system. You might like to read about it and try a program called RighTime, available for a 90 day trial at http://www.RighTime.com. RighTime is a small, sophisticated memory-resident program that automatically corrects both the DOS system clock and the hardware "CMOS" real time clock (RTC) in real time.  RighTime learns what corrections are required without operator interaction beyond the occasional accurate time set. This program keeps my system time very accurate.  I hope this helps.                                                        Tim
  Maybe I am missing something obvious here, but I have a client with an
  AcerOpen AX59PRO based motherboard running an AMD K6-2 CPU with 128MB
  SDRAM running Windows98 (Original release), and her clock is losing an
  average of seven to ten minutes a month.  I have replaced the battery in
  her board, but it is to no avail.  The problem still continues.

  I wonder if anyone can help shed some light on this.  What else can cause
  a computer to lose time in this fashion?

  The computer is one year old, and the problem first exhibited itself about
  four months ago.  There have been no hardware or software changes that I
  am aware of since the computer was first setup.

  Thanks.
