I read somewhere in this newsgroup, in the past,  that the clock can be
affected by installed programs. Someone suggested a long process that would
uncover a potential program interference. You have to close one program at a
time from the running services and see if it fixes it. You try one a day and
see if the clock is still incorrect after the full day. If not try the next
program and do the same. This continues until the "problem" is resolved.
Lenghty = YES..... but it will find what program is causing it. The battery
is only used to store the user adjusted settings for the bios (this includes
the clock) when the power is off. Once powered on the power supply provides
the current to the chip. So, a weak or even dead battery should have no
effect once the OS is active. Hopefully that person (can't remember who..
sorry) will see this and explain in more detail. Good luck!!
