Clock Sync Issue

I have an interesting issue where my computer's clock is slowly losing minutes every day.

In addition to this, I need to keep my computer consistently set five minutes in advance (for a particular program to function correctly).

I've downloaded atomic clockSync, which will take care of the computer's clock slipping, but now (ironically unforunately) the clock is set to the accurate time.

Is there any way to set the clock to 5 minutes in advance on a continual basis?

Thanks
Ian
 
ian,

you cannot set you system clock 5 mins advanced if you're using atomic clock. why? because it will always get the exact accurate time from the internet for the time zone you are in. why not just set you application (i assume this is a scheduled task) to run 5 minutes in advanced, say if it previously runs at 11:00pm, you could now run it 10:55pm. i hope i got you right. peace [peace]
