Would I still lose time if I leave my computer on 24/7 ? I am considering
the CMOS idea, but I leave my system on 24/7. Any other suggestion(s)?

I believe so, but I am not an expert. For some reason, I seem to recall being told that the system clock in my IBM Aptiva ran off the CMOS battery, and did not "charge" or switch over to the power supply when on. I think its worth a try. Is the computer old? (by the way, when this happened to me, I was also leaving the computer on all the time)
