RE: My clock is too fast
In a very remote way this can be caused by an almost empty battery on your motherboard. But useually you first would see other indications though, like BIOS settings which aren't properly saved anymore, etc. Also, in most cases, if your battery on your motherboard is dying the clock usually goes slower, not faster (but it isn't totally impossible though)...

So, if replacing your battery doesn't work: besides syncronizing using an online time-server, there is nothing you can do about it (except to buy a new motherboard (and hoping it has a better tuned timer-crystal)).

In XP, you can automatically syncronize your clock. To do this right click on your clock in the taskbar and choose "Date/Time Settings". There, on the third tab, you can choose and set your syncronization time-server.

For other OS's, there exist 3rd party tools which do this also.
