Taskbar clock gains time

The clock on the taskbar continues to run fast even after
repeatedly adjusting date/time. Any suggestions? Thank
you.

Computer clocks (and TV clocks for that matter) are rather inaccurate...some more
than others. Have a look at this older reply from MS MVP Bert Kinney:

"This is a known issue with Win98. For more information on this
problem check these articles, and the information below.

Note:
The system battery doesn't have anything to do with the clock when
the system is running. If the system boots up with the correct time,
then there is a gain or loss changing the battery will no effect.

The CMOS battery holds the information for the system clock which runs
continuously. (You can see this in CMOS settings.) When Windows boots, it
reads this once, then maintains it on its own. If something affects Windows'
own clocking, then this will speed up or slow down (run fast or slow)
independent of what is happening to the system clock. On reboot, they are
recalibrated, because Windows rereads the system clock.

Restart or Network Connection Changes Computer Date and Time

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
10. NAV 2000 has been identified as one that gives 1 hour jumps

A workaround:
Download and install: Atomic Clock Sync (atomic clock synchronize freeware
utility):

Check to make sure you are in the correct time zone if the clock jumps an
hour fast when it is booted up.
Glee's references should solve it , or, explain it otherwise.
