XP, latest service pack. SP3 I think.
The darn time sometime flips an hour one way or another.
Saw it keeping time an hour ahead about a week ago, so unchecked the
"adjust for daylight savings" box to get it right.
Now I just noticed it was an hour behind, and checking the box fixed
it. It don't make sense.

I think that is just the confusion about when DST starts. It is always
flaky between the old DST time and the current one.
I keep that option turned off.


I've been using it for quite a while with no problems. It hasn't gotten
confused on my comp.

I never had a windoze computer do that, and I used windoze from its
beginnings.

Don't have that problem with my macs, either.

Thanks, downloaded that. Still doesn't make sense though, since we're
not close to going off DST.

It's screwy. I think you're supposed to enable the computer figure it
out once the patch is installed.

Speaking of patches, if you haven't heard, Microsoft just released a
record number, some critical. While personally, I don't know why anyone
would be using such buggy software, ;-), if you do, you might want to
download the updates.

My system checks for updates every night. It's easier than trying to keep up
manually.
