Re: My Time-Zone resets itself...?

Kenneth,

I thought that it was worth a shot.

Here's some info.

What isn't explained there is that you have to reverse the comma delimited
value of each individual piece value. Looking at Central Standard Time for
example, if you look at the values 13,14 you will see that year is still set
to 00,00 in the new values, which means that year is disregarded in the time
change calculation. Position 15,16 (Standard start month) has changed from
0a,00 to 0b,00 which means the start month is 11 instead of 10.

When the computers are part of a workgroup, you must manually configure the
time synchronization settings. You might identify a computer as a locally
reliable time source by configuring the Windows Time service on that
computer to use a known accurate time source, either by using special
hardware or by using a time source that is available on the Internet. You
can configure all other workgroup computers manually to synchronize their
time with this local time source.

SYMPTOMS
Changes that you make to the time zone on the Time Zone tab do not take
effect.
CAUSE
By default, only administrators and power users can change the date,
time, or time zone

Hello again,

I thank you for the suggestions (and have actually done the
entire register/unregister/re-register drill already to no
avail) but...

The problem described is not (precisely) the one that I
have.

It would not be correct to say that I cannot change the
system's time zone. I can. But after a while (many hours, or
a few days) the system reverts to the Brisbane setting.

I certainly will try the repair steps again, but would
welcome any further thoughts you might have,
