Hrm... What do you mean by 'lose track of time'?

If it's just the clock messing up, it *might* be the lithium battery, could check that...

If it's an actual clock error which is effecting the performance, it might be an OS error which could be fixed by reinstalling the OS, or upgrading, or it might be a motherboard problem, in which case you'd have to buy a new motherboard, and if it's anything like my Pavillion case, that means you have to get a whole new computer because the case is too small to get a decent motherboard in there, unless you try REALLY hard and find one small enough...

Hopefully, somebody else will provide a better solution though... I hope so, it'd stink to have to replace something like the motherboard (I already had to do that once... lukily, it was within a MONTH of me buying it, so it was under warranty...
