Right first of all i would say download
Spybot Search and Destroy
Adaware 6.0 and update them. Run them and see if your problem stops also look at thread615-791778
Sounds very much like spyware tho and im sure you have a 20 GIG drive not a 20meg drive winxp needs more than that!

There might be an applicaton your running that is affecting the windows clock. Third party screensavers come to mind.

Gaining time usually has the same causes as losing time. It is generally
related to some software installed on the system.

Unless, of course, the time change occurs when the system is shutdown. That would indicate the need for a new battery or a BIOS update.


There have been problems in the past with Dell Machines and time. Also some Anti Virus software has been known to cause problems. You can check it out at -
