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.

This 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.
