Time Zone Issues

Hi

We are currently located in Barbados, which is in the Caribbean. Most of
our clients are located in North America and Canada, therefore the time zone
set on our Windows XP machines is Eastern Time. However now that we in the
Caribbean are ahead by one hour of the North Americans our system clocks are
not reflecting the correct time.

Basically I have my computer set to match the Eastern time zone for business
purposes however the system time on the clock should be an hour ahead.

Can I achieve this and if so, how?

Thanks

Re: Time Zone Issues

1. Make certain that all computers are fully-patched at Windows Update.

2. If no joy, take the computer in question here:

RE: Time Zone Issues

uncheck the prompt to use daylight savings time.
of course you would right click on the time display and choose adjust
date/time and then choose Time zone.
