Sounds like a very old copy of jclock - one that came with an installing
application that added an INIT resource to your System file. There is an app
called "Remove jclock," but I don't seem to have it anymore or I'd send it.

Use ResEdit to see if you have an INIT called "jclock" in your System file.
If you do, you can boot from another disk (so your System won't be busy -
ResEd will advise you not to edit an open file, but will let you) and use
ResEdit to clear the INIT. You could also just throw away your System file
and reinstall it with the Installer.

Bet that fixes it.
