clock date wrong

[Guest]

My PC is Window XP. The clock in the system tray always shows the wrong date:
one day behind exactly. The time is OK though the date is wrong. I manually
change the date but the next day the date is still wrong.

Any fix?

Since the time is OK but the date is ALWAYS one day behind, I dont
believe it's a battery problem.

With that said, the fact that _a_ pc is only 2 years old does not mean
that it _cant_ be a battery problem. In other words, one can get a new
pc and have a bad battery in 6 months. Rare, but happens.

You checked that you have the correct Time Zone, as Quean pointed out.

Double click the clock, Time Zone tab.
