Computer Clock

[Hank]

Can anyone advise me on how to de-bug my computer clock?
I've tried replacing the battery on the motherboard but it
still loses time - up to 15 minutes per hour!

bad crystal on the motherboard... time to replace it.

Hmm... Leave your machine for a hour at the BIOS setup screen,
where it displays time&date. If the clock still will lose time, it is probably hardware,
if not - something in win2k...

Not a bad idea, but windows just queries the local clock, which relies upon
the crystal. If the crystal is bad, you have to replace the MB.
