Hi,

I'm on an office network. My machine is running XP Pro. This problem
does not affect any other machine on the network (all are running one
or other XP). When I get to work and switch on my machine the clock is
exactly one hour early (i.e. it says 8am when it's 9am). By around
lunchtime (I'm not sure exactly when) the clock displays the correct
time. Daylight saving autoadjust is unchecked. I've never heard of
anything like this and nor have the guys from our IT company!

Any ideas?

Paul

Try replacing the battery.

did the IT department run any patches for the daylight savings time? I seen
some issues where the calendar in outlook got all screwed up, you might want
to ask if there was an MSI file pushed by IT; try removing it and let the
machine do the regular change for daylight savings time, let me know if that
helps.

Replacint the cmos battery is the very first step.

Hi all,

Thanks for your advice. I'll get the battery looked at first (although
being exactly 1 hour off seems like something deliberate) and ask the
IT guys about DST stuff.

I'll post if any of these things work.

This a cynical ploy by your management to extract one hour extra work out of
you for no reward.
