Gotcha, XP do not use User Account Control (UAC), so you need to force the program to run as an Admin. Test this, if you right-click and do a 'Run-As Adminstrator', is it able to change the clock then? If so, your solution would be to shim the application by going to the Compatibility Tab in Properties of the EXE and check 'always run as administrator', the other fix is to use a Manifest file. You can research about using a Manifest file from Microsoft's website or Bing or Google. Good Luck.
P.S. - Shim fixes one local PC. For an enterprise, you will need to install the Shim database and deploy a local shim file to all PC's. You can find out more about it on Microsoft's website.
