Guest Robert Bodling Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 I have posted a problem I have with my main system, the system clock is running an hour behind and if I try and manually adjust the time, it will reset to it's previous time and remain an hour behind. I have tried to sync it with Atomic Clock or the time servers and it will not sync with any of the time servers, and I can not figure why. Please, some one give me some ideas where I'm not looking or what I'm missing...

Boy, I must be really missing something, I've went into my BIOS and reset my system clock to the correct time and saved it, but after it reboots into Windows XP, it will reset back to an hour behind...

Two questions come to mind: 1) are you SURE you're set to the proper time zone? 2) are you SURE that you're using the proper daylight savings time option?

Don't want to sound stupid, but what are the Daylight Savings Time Options? (Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes...) is checked... am I missing something here?

However, if changing to Eastern Time fixes your problem, it won't hurt to give it a try. You may have to revisit the solution come November's change from Daylight to Standard Time. Bill
Guest Robert Bodling Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Re: Sysem clock will not stay current... I tried that but the clock still continues to reset to Central Time and reset to an hour behind, why? What is causing it to continue to reset to previous time settings?
