CD time difference on Win98 PC vs WinXP PC

[Jack]

A CD full of JPG images shows a creation date that is different by 4 hours
on my WinXP machine vs my Win98SE machine -- both PC's have the same clock
setting -- why the difference? The Win98SE machine is the one in error,
being 4 hours later.

Check to ensure you have the correct time-zone on the Win98SE machine. If
you have software installed which checks for correct date / time, you can
still set the time. However, if the PC has the wrong time zone specified,
the software will change the time from what you've entered.

Hope this helps,

It is a Time Zone matter. The time recorded on the CD is the same, but
XP adjusts displayed modified times by local time zone offset - so that
they appear always in local time (Having itself always written them in
Zero zone time). I am not sure if this was a sensible idea; it can
certainly confuse
