KB931836 was applied some time ago, but when I got up this morning, my
computer still displayed the old time.

I use a program called Atomic Timesynch to keep the system clock set to the
correct time. It was consistently getting the time one hour earlier than
the correct time no matter what server I pointed it at. I finally had to
tell Atomic Timesynch to offset the time it got by one hour, but I really
hate having to resort to a kludge to fix the problem.

Has anyone else noted any similar occurrences? Are the time servers in fact
still coughing up standard time instead of daylight time?

My system date and time correctly reports that the time here is Mountain
Daylight Time (GMT-7, or GMT-6 for daylight time).

The MS time adjustment went well, not that I am surprised, but
I'm certainly gratified that installing all the updates did some
good.. Why do you want to use anything else? Both time.nist.gov
and time.windows.com seem to be satisfactory time servers.

Using Atomic Timesync, time.nist.gov tells me that the time is one hour
before the actual time.

I am unable to connect with time.windows.com.

It would appear that my problem is Atomic Timesync. I just ran another
program called World Time Clocks that has the same time-setting function,
and it is in fact reporting the correct time.
