Sounds like your laptop has a problem if it doesn't keep time when it's turned off. That is NOT normal, and indicates probably a hardware problem.

Maybe the exact make/model of this laptop would be useful here.

Are you saying it doesn't retain the proper time if you turn it off, then turn it back on later?

I can't imagine what is happening there, I used WakeupOnStandBy on a couple of desktops and a laptop running XP, they all worked fine and it performed as expected. The laptop was a five year old Averarec 3150, so the age of the machine shouldn't be a factor.
