Guest Ron Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I keep setting my time to EST. It keeps changing back 3 hours to GMT time. How can I fix this? I am running XP Pro.
Guest PA Bear Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Re: Why is system time keep getting reset to GMT time 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: http://bertk.mvps.org/html/symantecdoc1.html -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin; DTS-L.org Ron wrote: > I keep setting my time to EST.

Also check if you are doing something non-standard and time-syncing (perhaps with an Atomic Clock type of program) to the wrong time server.

Guest Ron Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Re: Why is system time keep getting reset to GMT time OK, I guess I need to check the time before I launch any program and see which one is resetting it. It is not at startuip time because I just tried rebooting, and the time is still correct.
