Why does my PC keep jumping ahead 2 minutes? [View all]

This has been an ongoing problem. When I have the computer re-synch, the time corrects with no problem, but then the next day or whenever it's 2 minutes ahead again!

This has been going on for years.

I'm running Windows XP SP3 from home.

My work PC is behind by 2 minutes, but that's at least because the company server runs slow for some reason!
