My computer's time is set back one hour. It's set to the correct time zone with DST enabled and I just synced it.

Did someone at windows jump the gun and set the clock back a week early? Or is it just my computer?

Running Win XP sp3..

I am not sure I run Windows95 and it rocks.

Have you installed all updates? There has been at least one recent update that related to daylight savings time.

wait, it's DST? oh...

Only noobs install updates. And it syncs from the internet so it should be changing through that, not anything that would be affected by an update

My super duper fancy James Bond-esque atomic watch updates automatically and that's all I need.

Looks like your date and time server screwed you then.

Win XP sp3 x86 64-bit.

Not sure why yours doesn't, there's probably an unchecked box somewhere. But I just tried syncing it with the government server (time.nist.gov) and got the same time, an hour behind, so I don't think its the server.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Did you change servers then reboot?

 

[buildyourown]

Update your service pack. I'm betting the gubment changing DST all up is screwing with it.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Fvckin' Obama....

I hate updating

I'm almost tempted to get Windows 7 so I can get iCloud...

The only reason I knew what "dolt" meant was from studying Shakespeare in high school...

I would recommend Win7. Especially since you are already running 64bit.
I am a slow adopter of tech when it comes to software. I like to wait until they sort things out. I leap frogged Vista and waited until everybody had their 64bit drivers sorted.

Honestly, Win7 is the first change that really has added a lot of functionality.

I changed my time zone.And I'll change it back next Sunday. Problem solved

I'll probably make the switch to windows 7 in the next few weeks if all the drivers sort out properly.
