been told by the manufacturer of our pcs
that it is not possible

I have a HP Vectra VE (Celeron 366 Mhz with 32 MB of RAM) running Windows95
loosing about
2 minutes daily on its PC clock.

Is there a way I can calibrate the PC's clock to run faster or slower?
Or
Is there a way the PC's time can daily reference to the BIOS time and be
adjusted accordingly?
Or
Can I set something up to automatically adjust the time by X seconds daily?

Please note: the PC is not networked or connected to the internet.

Whats the PC used for you ask?
The PC is running a program based on Foxpro which collects real time data
from a call centre
switch and displays it on overhead message boards for call centre staff to
view.
These overhead displays also show the current time of day (derived from the
PC's time).
The PC time is loosing about 2 minutes every day - very annoying since this
incorrect time
is displayed throughout the call centre.
I replaced the PC thinking the clocking on the mother board was faulty but
the new PC also
looses time. And guess what? neither PC looses time when running back at my
office.
I can't run the Foxpro program properly back at he office since I dont have
a call centre
there so I ran a video (no not one of those videos) overnight to keep the PC
busy and it only
lost 2 seconds.
