My clock won't stay on daylight saving time

[bandethread]

My clock won't stay on daylight saving time. Even if I set it to the
correct time, then reboot my system, it goes back to the old time
again and needs to be reset again. How can I get my clock to stay on
the correct time after the computer is rebooted?

Thanks for your help.

Your headers show that your posting host is Cox Communications in Ft.
Walton Beach, Florida. Do you have your time zone correctly set to
Eastern US?

Other than that, are you synchronizing with a time server?

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time
things worked and the time they didn't?

Change your time server to tock.usno.navy.mil

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).

Here's something else about NAV that you may not be aware of:

Excellent tip, Unknown. Thanks!

Change your time server to tock.usno.navy.mil

You're welcome. That time server has NEVER failed.

...also make sure you have picked the right time zone. Sometimes there are
several for the same + or - hours and some don't have DST and some do.
