Time Zone Won't Change

[Guest Sandy G]

When I run the Time Zone tool on Windows XP Pro I get an error message that

says: "Update cannot be installed as a newer or same timezone update has

already been installed on the system." I have Windows update on and have all

the updates. I don't know where there is a timezone loaded as it doesn't

change. The daylight savings time box is checked but the computer still

stays on standard time. How can I fix so I get daylight savings time on the

computer?

Double-click on the clock in lower right-hand corner | Date & Time (tab): Is

the correct time zone displayed here (e.g., Eastern Daylight Time)?

 

Time Zone (tab): Is the correct Time Zone selected here and is

"Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes" checked/enabled?

I have 3 PCs, 2 desktops with XP Home and 1 laptop with XP Pro. One of my

desktop did the same thing than yours (the other 2 pcs adjusted the time

correctly).

 

I just tried the utility from that link that was suggested in another

similar thread and it seems to work (The clock now says it is DST -

"Heure d'été" (summer time), my XP's in French). I will be sure the next

time XP will sync the clock on the internet. I tried to manually set the

clock before but it would revert back to standard time when XP did his

"sync the clock" thing.
