For no reason that my novice eye can see, my computer's clock will start to stutter and lag after the computer has been on for several hours. Usually I notice it if I leave it on overnight, but it just started happening now without any specific cause on my part. I have done full virus/spyware/adware checks and they have come up clean. I also have over 50% of my system resources available, so it's not a memory thing. Restarting the system will temporarily fix it and reset the clock to the proper time, but I need a more permanent solution.

One thing that may have done it was when I deleted my WINDOWS\TEMP folder. Well not the folder, the contents (which were taking up 5 GB of my HD). Some screwy stuff has happened since then. Exploring the HD through My Computer has some funky looking displays, and if I try running "configsys" it tells me the program doesn't exist! What did I do? SHould I just reinstall Windows? What needs to be backed up before I do that?
