I am having a problem where my windowsxp clock is constantly wrong on my windows boot camp partition. Every once and awhile I fix it and its good for 3 or 4 days then one day i will look at it and it will have some totally random time on it.

does anyone know whats causing this all windows jokes aside?

Way... way too many specs to list.
have you set windows to use an NTP server? That'd be my, admittedly rather simple, solution

I had that problem in Parallels and the only way I could fix it seemed to be to allow an internet connection so that windows could synchronize the settings (when you set the time it has urls for time synchro) then I disable the parallels internet. It's just not worth compromising security when most downloading I can do I can just by allow shared folders. (I hope this helps)
