Time not changing on Win XP SP2 machine

[downing.samuel]

I try to change my time on the system tray to adjust for daylight
savings (the box is checked) it will change to the correct time, but
about 5-10 mins later the time changes back one hour...


any ideas??

Thanks-

Try changing your time server to---tock.usno.navy.mil

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free, Pro, & Security Suite).

However, if the machine were fully patched at Windows Update and assuming
you live in North America, your machine should've adjust for DST at 2:00 AM
on 09 Mar-08.

Besides checking-in at Windows Update, also see
