CMOS time, system time, taskbar clock, all screwy

[needlove]

I stopped Windows time service and set to disable. When I rebooted windows
time service was started and set to automatic. I have admin privilages...


| My computer thinks its fall and sets the time back one hour. my CMOS
clock

|
| My CMOS battery is fine as I never turn the computer off and the time
zone

for

|

time

My computer thinks its fall and sets the time back one hour. my CMOS clock
loses a whole day.

My CMOS battery is fine as I never turn the computer off and the time zone
is correct. I don't leave the time synchronization application running for
security reasons.

I check the box to sync, apply settings, sync, then uncheck the box and
apply settings, after time is synchronised. The time is synchronized
correctly but after a day it reverts back to being an hour off. Windows
Time service is started and set to automatic.

This started in February on the new daylight saving time date.

February? The changes were in March...

Did you apply the DST patch?


I manually

Yeah, March 11. The DST update "wizard" says I don't need the patch.

_NO_ Windows operating system prior to Vista is natively ready for these
DST changes. So maybe the patch was applied via Automatic Updates or
the DST wizzard might need a kick in the pants. Did you use the
Time/Date applet and reapply your Time Zone? Change to a different tz
then back to your zone and click on "Apply".
