Posted on Saturday, didn't see the message, checked my clock, correct time
but showed Friday. Reset it to Saturday.

Do a daily cold boot.

Today, just checked, it shows Monday. 4/7.

What is going on?

I noticed that my 98SE machine went to savings time over the weekend, and
that is always an adventure for a day or three. Don't know about 2000 but if
it were 98 I'd say that maybe the OP has an unpatched OS (re: new DST
calendar)? I have other 98 machines and partitions here... I should try them
to see what happens.

Thanks. Had done that on my W98SE machine, just ran the NT version on
this W2K computer, will know tomorrow AM.

It wasn't behaving like a battery issue, the time of day was correct.

The daylight saving fix didn't do it.

I just tried unchecking the "Automatically adjust for daylight saving",
to see if that helps.

Will run a google search, this is a odd one.

One possibility is that the clock's AM/PM setting is reversed.

Hello Ben! Didn't realize you were here in W2K. I still use another
machine with W98SE.

That setting was Ok,

I talked to the tech that built my machine, he suggested unchecking
"automatically adjust for DST". That seems to have fixed it. For 2 days
it is normal, so I will assume it is fixed.

I will post for my little headache, the dragging popup.

Thanks to all, problem corrected by unchecking "automatically correct for
DST".

Thanks, I saved it. I had previously run the NT fix suggested by a W98
expert last year, there was also one for W98, they seemed to both work
last year, this year, my fix as mentioned elsewhere, did the job.
