Yes, I have had it checked since day one of XP-Pro.

I have every update up to today!

Thanks for your reply.

I'll try your suggestions this evening.

Best regards,

Hmmm,
If you are up-to-date on your Windows patches, then also consider the
possibility that you are time-synching to another machine that might be
off by one hour. Usually time differences as big as an hour are logged
in the System Log. Use the Event Viewer to see if any big time changes
recently occurred and which machine caused it.
Start->Run->Eventvwr.msc
Double-click on a line for detailed view.

If you have internet access, you should use a public NTP server to set
your time. A list is available at:

"A list of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) time servers that
are available on the Internet"
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262680>

To enter a NTP time server:
as an administrator, bring up a command prompt and enter the following
commands:

net time /setsntp:tock.usno.navy.mil
w32tm /config /update
w32tm /resync /rediscover

Substitute any NTP server after /setsntp:
Also, you can verify the timezone/savings time that your system thinks
it's in by entering the following command:

w32tm /tz
