Computer clock losing time!

Has anyone ever had this problem? My computer clock is losing time. In fact, it seems to be at least 3 minutes slow each successive day. Right now, it's 8:35, but my computer clock says 8:31 and I reset it this morning! Any idea how to fix this?

Ref. his last post: To determine if the time loss is a result of a weak computer battery: Click Start , point to Programs , and then click MS-DOS Prompt . At the command prompt, type time , and then press ENTER. Compare this time with the time that is reported by the clock on the taskbar. Type exit , and then press ENTER. If the computer's time and the time on the clock are different, the computer's battery may be too weak to keep accurate time, and it should be replaced. For information about how to replace the battery, go to the documentation included with your computer. NOTE : This problem does not affect the clock in your computer's CMOS.

Try downloading "Dimension 4" from thinkman.com. It automatically updates your computer's clock to the atomic clock maintained at one of many locations.
