My machine has been set to follow internet time from
time.nist.gov. It does seem to sync, but then my machine
also seems to be something like hours behind after a
while. Now, at 4:10pm my PC says 2:23pm.

What's wrong? Is it something in XP? Something in my
hardware? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe the CMOS backup battery is going bad. How old is
the machine? Sometimes they give up after 2 or 3 years.
Mostly they last 4 to 5 years.
 
I have the same problem with my tablet XP machine. It
has been 30+ minutes behind even though time syncs to
both MS and Gov are reported as working. Nothing seems
to change the time. I even went in and adjusted it
manually to set it back a few hours, then did a time
sync. It said it worked but never changed the time. I
can't find any reference to this problem in the
Knowledge base. Anyone have any ideas???
