| Daylight Saving Time - hotfix keeps setting my time 1 hour ahead Hello, I installed the windows update several weeks ago that included the hotifx for the change in daylight saving time. Now that daylight saving time has passed, Windows keeps updating my system clock ahead by one hour. It seems to do this every time I boot up my computer. I am able to manually correct the time but once I turn on the computer again, the time is once again set ahead by one hour. Any assistance or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Paul Grossman. |

| RE: Daylight Saving Time - hotfix keeps setting my time 1 hour ahead Hi Paul, dbl-click on the time on the lower right hand carner of your task bar, look to see what it says below the calendar. Does it say Pacific Standard Time or Pacific Daylight time? Is the 'Adjust for daylight savings' box checked? If the box is not checked check it and it should npw show Pacific Daylight Time but it may jump an hour ahead, so just adjust the time back and it should stick. -- Thanks, Dan "Paul Grossman" wrote: > Hello, > > I installed the windows update several weeks ago that included the hotifx > for the change in daylight saving time. > > Now that daylight saving time has passed, Windows keeps updating my system > clock ahead by one hour.

| RE: Daylight Saving Time - hotfix keeps setting my time 1 hour ahe When I double-click the clock it says "Eastern Daylight Time" I click the "Time Zone" tab and I see that the "Automatically Adjust Clock for Daylight Saving Changes" IS in fact checked. These settings have been already set and I have been having the problem. I keep manually adjusting the time (did this for the past 2 days) and the problem doesn't stop. Is there something wrong with the hotfix? I installed the windows updates as I normally would have done. Is there any other settings I can check? Thank you, Paul Grossman.

| RE: Daylight Saving Time - hotfix keeps setting my time 1 hour ahe Paul, You can uncheck the Adjust for DST and the time should hold for now. I have not seen this so I am afraid I don't have a good answer for you. Are you using XP home or Pro? I beleive Home has the Internet time tab where you can select an external time sync that may help. -- Thanks, Dan "Paul Grossman" wrote: > > When I double-click the clock it says "Eastern Daylight Time" > > I click the "Time Zone" tab and I see that the "Automatically Adjust Clock > for Daylight Saving Changes" IS in fact checked. > > These settings have been already set and I have been having the problem. > I keep manually adjusting the time (did this for the past 2 days) and the > problem doesn't stop. > > Is there something wrong with the hotfix?

| Re: Daylight Saving Time - hotfix keeps setting my time 1 hour ahe Although I cannot provide an exact solution, i might offer a suggestion. You might try to adjust the time inside the cmos/bios. Most computers allow access to the bios settings by holding down an Fkey or a del key while the machine is being powered up. check you pc manual or pc's website for instructions to access to your cmos/bios. - db - "Paul Grossman" <PaulGrossman@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5B407DD9-A941-47C8-AB85-C6CC7E4C1212@microsoft.com...
