I have one user with a Dell running XP Home. All the Microsoft bug
patches
are applied after waiting a few days to see if other people report
problems.
System has run without substantial problems for a number of years.
There
are hardware firewalls, software firewalls, antivirus, antispyware,
scans done
on a regular basis, etc, etc, etc. Has not had any malware on it for
years.

After the Microsoft DST patches were installed the system after the
system
would boot every few days randomly it would have the clock be an hour
early.
Even after the "old DST date" change passed the problem persisted.

I tried repeatedly manually pushing the clock forward an hour. The
next
time it would boot or a few days later when it would boot it would be
back
an hour.

I searched the net looking at what others with this problem had done.

I tried uninstalling the Microsoft DST bug patches and let Microsoft
reinstall
them. The problem is still there.

Does anyone have the definitive answer to fix this?

Check your time zone settings in Control Panel / Date and Time panel.

I turned DST off, then back on after a reboot, and it quit acting up.
