782582 2009-06-15 23:43:00 For the last month or so, probably since daylight saving changed, this computer's clock goes haywire about every 2nd day. It synchs ok when I adjust it with Internet Time, but 2 days later the same problem. It's really irritating.

Windows XP Pro SP2.

Thx for any help.

Also may be an antivirus program, try uninstalling it for a few days.

782587 2009-06-16 01:16:00 You can try this.
Click on Start-Run, then type services.msc & press Enter.
Scroll down to Windows Time and stop the service, then restart the computer.
Do the same to go back to services and start the Windows Time service again.
Now try updating the clock again.
