I have the Dell computer. Although I adjust time, Win XP would not keep time Time would lag when many processes are working. How do I fixed it for good ? Thank you for your response. TC./

check your battery

Did you try this, LEFT click TWICE on the clock and when the clocl screen comes up click on "internet time Tab" Make sure the box is checked that says Automatically Syncronize with internet time server!

Here is the whole tip just found it>>> XP Clock Trick If you are running Windows XP, you'll never have to worry about manually setting your computer's clock again! Just double-click the little clock in the System Tray and it will bring up the Time and Date Properties screen. Click the Internet Time tab and you'll see the Update Now button that lets you instantly synchronize your clock with one on the internet. Click Update Now, then OK. Of course, you have to be online for this little trick to work. Also, you'll notice that there's a check box on that screen that says "Automatically synchronize with an internet time server." If you uncheck that box, you won't be able to do a manual synchronization as described above. However with this feature enabled, not only can you do our little trick, but your computer will automatically update its time once a week - all by itself. Of course, you need to be online when it's time for the synchronization in order for this to work. Anyhow, no matter how it gets updated, manually or automatically, it's still a handy way to keep your computer's clock right on time.

OK I try it I appreciate your responses. TC./
