Windows XP is a pre-emptive multi-tasking operating system.  That means it 
steals time away from some applications to give it to others.  This can 
cause the clock to slow down, as you have seen.  Best to run CT under real 
DOS, perhaps by installing a bootable DOS partition on the computer.  Or 
you could try using the CTWIN version instead.
