How old is your Motherboard? IT could be that your battery is failing and not allowign the clock to keep accurate time.
Does it lose time while powered on or only after you have shut down?

While I'm still online. I leave it on for days at a time without any problems. The whole set up is about 3 yrs. old.
How do I do that?

This is one of those things where I'd say if you have to ask you probably shouldn't attempt it. Your Bios is basically what lets your software control your computer (hardware).....

I'd consider changing your CMOS battery, it might be dying.
If its losing while its on... I'd check to see if your PC clock is syncing to any atomic clocks. Check in Date/Time properties in Control Panel.

If on, it'll sync once a week.

It's on and set to sync once a week. Would Norton GoBack have anything to do with it? I remember a popup once asking if my pc time was correct. At that time I thought it was, but must not have been. I can't find where or how to configure GoBack time. I don't know if the problems lies there or not.

There are also programs like AboutTime that will set your time for you as often as you like. You can set it to run on reboot, or you can set it up as a windows task to run every now and then and autoclose after it sets the time, or you can just leave it running all the time if you need the time to be really accurate.

I have Comodo firewall and I was wondering if maybe that was blocking the synchronization of the clock. How do I unblock network time protocol if that is the problem?

You should have an exceptions list in your firewall that allows various programs you choose to access the internet unhindered.

It is actually a dll run as a service w32time.dll
I'm not sure how to tell your firewall to allow a dll...
There is a diagnostic program for it w32tm.exe that can be run from a command prompt, but I'm not exactly sure how to use it to help you yet...
Where is yrag when you need him?

Allow: time.windows.com - 207.46.130.100
Start/ Run: W32tm /register. Registers the time service to run as a service and adds default configuration to the registry.
