It seems that I recall a few years ago that there was a problem with the
computer time running too fast or too slow. Does anyone have any information
on that subject that could help me. I keep setting my time on my computer
and it always end up running fast.

Click to expand...

To get away from default.
Time ( clock ) being reset by Microsoft.
Double click on time ( bottom r/h side of screen )
Click on > Internet Time.
Tick > Automatically synchronize.
Server, select by clicking on the button > time.nist.gov
Click Apply & OK.

This registry cleaner has a tweak to update the clock daily.

After RegScrubXP is installed, click on Misc.. & click on > Update
clock from Internet every day instead of every week, click Modify.
 
Windows XP, as loaded, automatically updates the system time every 7 days
from one of two (default) time servers. This update interval can be changed
as follows:

Go to Start/Run. Type in regedit (the registry editor), then press enter.
Using regedit, press control/F (search). Type in "specialpollinterval"
without the quotes. Press enter.

When search has found the first entry, double click on the highlighted name.
Change the "base" to decimal. You will see that the decimal value is 604800,
the number of seconds in 7 days.

Edit this decimal value to any value you desire, remembering that there are
86400 seconds in one day, 3600 seconds in one hour. Click O.K.

Press F3 to find the next entry. Do this for each instance of the decimal
value "specialpollinterval".

Exit regedit.

Now reboot your system for the change to take effect.

Cheers!!!"
