What's "the obvious"? Have you replaced the CMOS battery?

Before anyone whose clock is running slow rushes out to buy a new
battery, he should first take note of whether he is losing time
while the computer is running or while it's powered off. If it's
while powered off, the problem *is* very likely the battery. But
if it's while running, it can *not* be the battery, because the
battery isn't used while the computer is running.



If the clock loses time while running, try this:



Open a command prompt window (Start | Run | cmd) and enter the
following commands:



net stop w32time

w32tm /unregister

w32tm /register

net start w32time
