You may need to un-register the Windows time module and then re-register.
Launch command prompt
Type the ff:
net stop w32timeand press Enter
w32tm /unregister and hit Enter again
w32tm /register and again hit Enter
net start w32time and hit Enter again.

GLuck!

i have a compaq Evo N1000v laptop, with a dead battery, so i keep it
connected to power source all the times. Do laptops have cmos batteries, or
do they draw power from the rechargeable batteries?
 
yes they do have cmos batteries. But the cmos battery only keeps the
time and some other settings set when there is no "wall" power.
 
WRONG.

This problem occurs WHILE Windows is running. While the computer is
on, the clock is not controlled by the CMOS battery In fact, unless
you interrupt the power between the wall and the computer, your
battery is never being used. If you just shut down using the front
panel switch, or the shut down feature on the start menu, your
computer is still getting power trickling to the mainboard from the AC
supply.

No, his problem is clearly *not* his battery.

If he were losing time while powered off, the problem would very likely be
the battery. But since he says it's while running, it can *not* be the
battery, because the battery isn't used while the computer is running.

He should 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

how old is computer?

And by the way, if he were losing tme while powered off, it would almost
certainly be the battery regardless of how old the computer is. Although
battery problems are more likely in an older computer, they are not unknown
in brand-new computers. Batteries can go bad at any time.
