Why not use one of the many programs available that keeps your PC clock correct
by checking with the NBS every few minutes and correcting it as necessary. I
use "Tardis" http://www.kaska.demon.co.uk and although it is shareware, I find
it to suit my needs just fine while working on all PC's on my network here.
Another similar program is called AtomTime at www.atomtime.com I believe
there are other freeware programs that accomplish the same thing. These little
TSR programs run in the background and use very little resources, while keeping
your PC clock/s perfect and also provides for ISP/internet activity at an
interval you decide, as frequently as every minute! Every 5 minutes works fine
here!
