There is a patch for that, I believe. Am pretty sure that when I first got my Dell, the clock was having issues with losing time...

Ck Windows Update.

If it's not about losing time, then just set the damned thing correctly :p

double click on the little clock in the bottom corner of your screen
set your time and timezone as well go to the internet time
and set it to syncronize with internet time server.

If you have broadband once a day it will resysc your time..
IF in that 24hr period you still lose to much time to bear....Buy a new motherboard.
The lose of time is because the crystal used for your clock on your motherboard is f****d and isn't osolating at the proper frequency..

had this problem when i was in sigonella.

The electricity there runs at 50 hz and is 60 in the usa. i would lose 10 minutes every hour on my clocks untill i got a new one.

Also check to make sure your bios clock is set to the right time.
