Time not changing on Win XP SP2 machine

[Guest downing.samuel@gmail.com]

I try to change my time on the system tray to adjust for daylight

savings (the box is checked) it will change to the correct time, but

about 5-10 mins later the time changes back one hour...

 

 

any ideas??

 

Thanks-

Re: Time not changing on Win XP SP2 machine

 

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, Pro, & Security Suite).

 

However, if the machine were fully patched at Windows Update and assuming

you live in North America, your machine should've adjust for DST at 2:00 AM

on 09 Mar-08.

 

Besides checking-in at Windows Update, also see
