WIndows XP Home Clock losing time

[Ron Hardin]

My Inspiron 1200 is losing 10 seconds an hour
suddenly. Is there some system setting I can
check, for what it does about clock adjustment?

Something is most likely to have been scribbled,
I think.

I see system calls (obscure to me still) that
talk about a certain amount being set to be added
to the clock each tick or so, and its being
enabled or disabled.

(I have a C compiler at hand, if anybody knows
the calls and formats for these.)

Hi Ron,

Have you checked the voltage of the cmos battery as this can affect system
time if low.

Regards,

Neil
