System Tray Clock Losing Time

My PC clock on my laptop is losing time in a very major way. It is only a couple months old, but today for instance I lost over three hours of time. Now, if I restart my computer, the time becomes accurate again because the system time in the command prompt seems to be right. Any suggestions?

Xp's clock sucks, Windows time has always sucked, but never as bad as Xp, even if you DO have time-sync on. Just a bug. CMOS is not an option as you say the time at cmnd prompt is fine.

Just a thought, if you lost or gained three hours, maybe somehow your timezone setting was changed. Check in control panel. date and time to see if your time zone is correct?
