Guest paulkaye Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Hi, I'm on an office network. My machine is running XP Pro. This problem does not affect any other machine on the network (all are running one or other XP). When I get to work and switch on my machine the clock is exactly one hour early (i.e. it says 8am when it's 9am). By around lunchtime (I'm not sure exactly when) the clock displays the correct time. Daylight saving autoadjust is unchecked. I've never heard of anything like this and nor have the guys from our IT company! Any ideas? Paul

Guest orion6OF9 Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Re: Clock is 1 hour early in the morning and correct in the afternoon! did the IT department run any patches for the daylight savings time? I seen some issues where the calendar in outlook got all screwed up, you might want to ask if there was an MSI file pushed by IT; try removing it and let the machine do the regular change for daylight savings time, let me know if that helps. paulkaye wrote: >Hi, > >I'm on an office network.

Guest paulkaye Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: Clock is 1 hour early in the morning and correct in the afternoon! Hi all, Thanks for your advice. I'll get the battery looked at first (although being exactly 1 hour off seems like something deliberate) and ask the IT guys about DST stuff. I'll post if any of these things work.
