Now that we're talking about this, I do recall something similar
happening here. Completely forgot which app it was then, but if I'm
right I was still running Win-98 then. Switching to Win2K cured the
problem in my case...
I also seem to recall the clock in the system tray showed running
behind. After a reboot the original sys-clock appearently was still
running OK, so without the use of www the clocks showed OK too.

This kept intruiging me.... :-)
I somehow seem to recall this happened using the Fly! flightsimulator
during long sessions (Flying AMS-LAX or similar stuff). Fly! was a cpu
killer.
You may check your BIOS clock by getting out a DOS or command box and
typing time. What u see then should be the Motherboard clock and if
this is the same problem that one should still be OK.
