Hi Forum,

I have small problem, my clock on bottom right hand corner is still not
right. I have installed (service Pack 2). I went to a small phrase that said
the following: "PC ready for Daylight Savings Time." I clicked it and did the
updates and every thing else that I needed to do. I went to "Daylight Saving
Time Update Guide,"---went to click "Download to Install DST Update of
Operating System." I did download to "Time Zone Data Update Tool."

It has not changed the clock at all and I wonder if I should do it manually.

I have a Compaq Presario / MS XP Home Edition / Service Pack 2
System Model - DQ178A-ABA S6000NX NA410.

I appreciate any research going in to this! Thanks!

Sincerely, Tim
 
This might sound stupid but I had one of mine not update and I decided to
just adjust the time and forget about it. On this particular system the
second page of the clock settings had no check mark on the enable daylight
savings time. I checked it and the time changed automatically.
 
I would make sure you're still set in the correct time zone. If you're
re-setting the clock to the correct time and then later the clock is off
again your cmos battery might be failing...but that's not very likely.
 
Hi Bill,

It was not a "stupid idea", it was a brilliant idea. I did it and it worked.
Don't know why it did not have a check mark in box to begin with.

While on the thought of time here is a scenario that just happened. I wrote
a half page of information to forum member, the time it was done it said
6:01. When I saw my post in the forum it said 7:01. I wonder how that could
be, I'm still puzzled.

Thanks again! Tim
 
HI Tim
Glad I could help. Messages on the forums are based on the forum time. A
lot of them default to central time zone for some reason.
 
Hi Bill,

That explanation satisfies me. Thanks for your assistance on the clock
matter in resolving the matter. Until the next time, you have a good day!

Sincerely, Tim
