Daylight savings time question

Hi I own a toshiba A215-S7462 I rolled it back to win xp home from vista and since we started daylight savings time everytime I shut it down and unplug it for the nite I lose an hour on my windows time display in the lower right hand corner of the screen. I have updated the time in my cmos several times also gone into my control panel and updated the time there i've worked on computers for years now and am actually at a loss to understand this. I am on pacific time and that is set correctly. Anyone know anything else I can try,oh yeh there are 3 desktops in my house and all three read the correct time. thanks for your help.

 

There was a windows XP hotfix for this issue released last year. Make sure you have service pack 1 + 2 and all the hotfixes.

 

I have win xp home sp3

 

do you have the box "automatically adjust clock for daylight savings time" checked under Time Zone? And are you in your corresponding time zone? Also consider checking or unchecking the box where it says "Syrnchonize time with windows microsoft time"

 

hi lonewolf0069,

i ran into this problem a few times on our work machines running XP PRO. i went to this site and downloaded their fix.

http://www.intelliadmin.com/Daylight Saving Fix Download.asp

you'll want to scroll a quarter way down to "Freeware Downloads"

click Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 Daylight Saving Time Fix

download, install and it fixed the issue.

but like waterwizard suggest...microsoft "should have" fixed that problem already. but this link should be fine.

good luck.

 

Thanks EdoKo for the fix its been downloaded and applied guess only time will tell if it worked (lol) Thanks again
