Ok, now I'm not sure if this will help, but what do you mean it snaps back in a few seconds? Is it after rebooting, or when simply sitting there? Also what's the difference is it a set amount of diff. or does it decay /increase ?
2 things to consider, a) virus, b) power issues.
a) scan and pray.
b) Check your CMOS battery, and then double check your power supply (poor power can screw with your compuer's clock)
I had 2 problems, one was a BIOS virus that kept my time straight but changed my date to 2023 at reboot each time (man that screwed up alot of 'trial' programs) it just got so annoying that I had to get rid of it (so long computer [ah it was only a celeron 466, but none the less] off to the landlord as a 'gift'), the other was a crippled CMOS battery conector. The answer to BOTH was to get a NIST synch program NIST25, and then pop it in the Startup, each time it loaded it got the time from NIST and switched the clock, overriding any previous time from DOS, BIOS, etc.
Now that MAY or may not work for you. It's a pain in the butt I know, but without more info it's hard to diagnose.
You can get Nist25 from tucows.com (I think, or CNET) and then you need to install it, and then take the reultant program [needs to runs all the log stuff first] and then simply pop it into startup.
Anywhoo hope that's some help. It's not much but, not quite sure EXACTLY what's up.
