System Clock Loses Time

Hello,

I have a user using Win98 SE and the time clock keeps
losing time. It's the classic "losing several minutes
during the day when the machine is kept on all day but
rebooting resets to the correct time." It isn't the CMOS
time - that is fine, it is the "software" time. I have
tried all of the below (or else it didn't apply) to no
avail. Anybody else have any ideas? Thanks!

A "few" of the other known reasons why the system may lose
or display the
incorrect time:

1. Some screen savers
2. Some 3rd party tools that attempt to log into
an "atomic clock" and then
auto-set your system
3. Setting a time within Win98 that conflicts with your
LAN time (if on a
LAN or networked)
4. Setting a time within Win98 that conflicts with the
time setting in your
CMOS
5. Overclocking on some systems
6. Incorrect voltage settings on the mother board
7. Some older DOS or Win3.x games/apps
8. Norton SystemWorks and Cybermedia GuardDog
9. Having the wrong GMT adjustment setting, or having
tinkered with that GMT
offset via the TZEdit program
