Time clock does not keep correct time

[Gary]

How do I fix my the clock on my systme so it keeps the
correct time. After I reboot the time is correct,
however after a period of time the clock begins to slow.

This is a very common issue that Dell computers have (though other makes may
have the same problem too).

Thanks to Jason Tsang's posting, try this

1. Start->Run cmd.exe
2. net stop w32time
3. w32tm /unregister [ignore error message]
4. w32tm /unregister
5. w32tm /register
6. net start w32time

or

If you have a Dell, get Dell Time Keeping Utility, Patch, Windows XP:

DELL imaged the OS from one machine and installed in on a batch of machines notably with different CPU speeds. Information about the imaged machine's processor clock is stored in the registry. The defect is that windows should detect that the processor is different and should refresh the registry entry. The steps above force that to happen.
