: Give me some help on this. My computer is only six months, old, 233mhz, 48mgsram Compaq Presario 4550. Surely my battery isn't running down yet. Why does my time vary so often?
It could be just a defective clock chip/battery. I had one go bad a few weeks after I built the machine. Compaqs are not particularly well known for the quality of the components used. It's also possible you have apps running that are resetting your time, but not to a fixed timebase. Trust me, it's not the operating system - it's got a lot of problems, but timekeeping isn't one of them.
