    Hey all,

    I'm running W7 w/ Boot Camp and Parallels 6. I frequently boot up into those partition. The only problem that I have is that I notice the time tend to be incorrect.

    On the Windows side, the time is set to be sync w/ the Windows server.

    On the Mac side, the time is set to be sync w/ the Apple server.

    So far, it does not sync. Even with internet connection and running for several hours... the time does not sync. Even after setting it manually and unchecking the automatic sync, the correct time would always be lost after booting in to boot camp..

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    One of the many quirks when using Windows on a Mac, and there is no specific "fix" for it.

    I've noticed that to. I either wait for it or set it myself.

    In windows, use a time syncing program such as: Karen's Time Sync

    Windows time sync is junk.
