Re: Manually setting time...?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Here's one for you:

What if you applied the patch, and see the correct time (and note that it
says "Eastern Daylight Time" on the date/time applet) and then reboot?

I find the time displayed is 1hr off (backwards, so it's supposed to be
1:30, but displays 12:30).

So I go back into the Date/Time applet, and find that it says "Eastern
Standard Time". Then I hit the Time Zone tab and change to another
timezone, and back immediately to Eastern. I make sure the Daylight
checkbox is checked. Hit Apply, and the time display correctly again, until
the next reboot.

What can I do for this?! A portion of the clocks on my network are
displaying correctly, others are showing an hour off. No rhyme or reason to
it.

If you reply, can you please copy in my email, kbrussel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks in advance!

Time synchronization is designed to do that. UTC, universal coordinated
time is the standard. Your time zone and whether you observe DST makes
an offset to that UTC time.

For XP, it's a simple patch. KB931836.

You can edit the time zone / DST settings manually with TZEdit.exe

DST starts 2nd week March, ends 1st week November. (Presuming you're in
the U.S.)

I have info and a link to TZEdit here:

Howdy,

I thank you for your kind help...

All the best,
