How can I update the clock on my Windows XP machine? Why does the clock always drift away from the actual time?

The computer clock will gradually get out of line with reality since it's not a very accurate beast. Some software can check the time with an outside source on the network or Internet and regularly adjust your computer by a few seconds so it never drifts so far off that you would notice.

If your computer is a part of a domain (not possible in Home Edition) you do not need to do anything. The computer will automatically update it's time by querying the PDC Emulator (usually the first DC n the domain).
