I've noticed a couple weeks ago my windows xp clock is ALWAYS 13
minutes ahead. It keeps time time fine while off so I know it's not
the CMOS battery. So what is goin on? I tried changing it back to
normal time, and about 15-30 seconds later it just jumps 13 minutes
ahead, then proceeds to keep normal time. I've tried synchronizing
with different sites, and even uncheck the synchronize button, ran a
virus scan, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help guys, take care!
