Some programs will cause that to happen, just never figured out which ones.

Have you checked the internet update to amke sure it is working?

Double click the time icon in bottom right hand corner of screen, then click on internet time, then you will see that check box checked with that thing that says "automatically synchronize with a internet time server and it should list the last time it was synchronized.

Around an hour a day, or exactly an hour a day? If it's the latter, check that your timezone and daylight savings settings are correct (if available, the box to automatically adjust time for DST should be checked). The reasoning behind that: time synchronisation (which I'm fairly sure is on by default) runs in UTC. The display time that you end up with is completely dependent on what time zone your computer thinks it's in.
