This is what I was looking for. On this computer I only need accuracy
within a few seconds. Thank you to all who suggested alternatives.

You don't need an app.
1. Right click on the time display in the task bar.
2. Select 'Adjust Date/Time'.
3. Click on the 'Internet Time' tab.
4. Type in any server you want. I suggest 'us.pool.ntp.org'. This gives
you access to a pool of servers so that if one is down or wrong, the next
one will correct the error.
This isn't just for XP. Any program or OS that accesses an NTP server by
name can do this. If you don't need the kind of precision or tracking
that a full NTP client provides, using the server pool is probably the
best way to go.

As some of you no doubt know microshaft has stopped supporting windows

seams rather small of them as it can't possibly be any inconvenience to
them to continue to provide this service.
I have a program on my old 98 box which runs my weather station program.
On boot-up it contacts some place and corrects the system clock. I put
it on that machine so long ago I don't remember where I got it or who it
contacts. Does anyone know of a program I can download that will do the
same for my XP box. I have no intention of upgrading until this box
becomes absolutely un-operational.
