Clock problems

Posted on Saturday, didn't see the message, checked my clock, correct time
but showed Friday. Reset it to Saturday.

Do a daily cold boot.

Today, just checked, it shows Monday. 4/7.

What is going on?

I noticed that my 98SE machine went to savings time over the weekend, and
that is always an adventure for a day or three. Don't know about 2000 but if
it were 98 I'd say that maybe the OP has an unpatched OS (re: new DST
calendar)? I have other 98 machines and partitions here... I should try them
to see what happens.

Thanks. Had done that on my W98SE machine, just ran the NT version on
this W2K computer, will know tomorrow AM.

It wasn't behaving like a battery issue, the time of day was correct.

The daylight saving fix didn't do it.

I just tried unchecking the "Automatically adjust for daylight saving",
to see if that helps.

Will run a google search, this is a odd one.

One possibility is that the clock's AM/PM setting is reversed.

Hello Ben! Didn't realize you were here in W2K. I still use another
machine with W98SE.

That setting was Ok,

I talked to the tech that built my machine, he suggested unchecking
"automatically adjust for DST". That seems to have fixed it. For 2 days
it is normal, so I will assume it is fixed.

I will post for my little headache, the dragging popup.

Thanks to all, problem corrected by unchecking "automatically correct for
DST".

I run Windows 2000, and even with all the latest updates,
it still messes-up both going onto daylight savings time
(it's several weeks late) and coming off (it's several
weeks early). So if there's a Win2K patch for this, it's
not part of the regular "updates".

I suppose I should google "Windows 2000 DST patch" and
see what I get....

Ah-ha! I see that Microsoft provides a time-zone editor
on their web site:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/8/a/58a208b7-7dc7-4bc7-8357-28e29cdac52f/tzedit.exe

And they provide instructions for using it at:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914387

Though it's really pretty intuitive; you just select the
time zone you want to alter, then select the start and
end times and days for DST for that time zone.

Thanks, I saved it. I had previously run the NT fix suggested by a W98
expert last year, there was also one for W98, they seemed to both work
last year, this year, my fix as mentioned elsewhere, did the job.
