I have a new Dell 4600C that runs 11 min fast. I reset the time and within several minutes it is 11 min fast again. It doesn't get any further off than 11 min. The seconds always seem to vary though. What could be causing a consistant 11 min difference?

What os are you running? WinXP has the Time Service that syncs the clock with a time server. See this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307897&sd=tech
Check to see if the Time Service is enabled and if so, where it is getting the sync from. Disable it if desired (or sync your watch with the system time hee hee).
Cheers.

Do you have any software installed like "AtomicClock" or anything else which may be attempting to synch you clock with an outside source?
