Clock runs fast
I use XP Pro and every day, the clock gets 4 minutes ahead. What is causing this problem?

I'll check the bios time next reboot. If bios is the problem, what do I do? flash it? |

Have you downloaded or installed anything new lately? I have seen some programs speed up or slow down the clock.

If I can remember right, I think it has something to do with a bad CMOS battery. Not quite sure though.

Ah, any particular precautions when replacing it other than the power down and battery swap?

Yea. The time thing doesn't bother me that much since I have a clock right next to my computer anyway. It's just something I'd like to have a handle on until it becomes a predominant issue.
