First take note of whether you are losing time while the computer is running
or while it's powered off. If it's while powered off, the problem is very
likely the battery. But if it's while running, it can *not* be the battery,
because the battery isn't used while the computer is running.

If the clock loses time while running, try this:

Open a command prompt window (Start | Run | cmd) and enter the following
commands:

net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net start w32time

If the time is not right when you first start the machine, then it's
possible the battery needs replacing. Check that time is set correctly in
BIOS first. This is where Windows picks up the time from when it starts. If
it is incorrect, Windows will be incorrect too. Make adjustements if
necessary. Then keep an eye on it - checking the time whenever you start
the computer to be sure that it is still correct.

If the time is correct when you start and drifts after the computer is
running for a while, this is a software problem. Either a program (more
common) or a driver is "sticky" and the slow clock is a symptom of that
problem. You'll need to do some troubleshooting to figure out which
program/driver is at fault.
