    What the heck am I doing wrong? It says 6:53. I have it set to Eastern Time, and automatic update for DST, and Internet Sync, but it's still an hour back. Thank you very much in advance.

    Well I just turned the Internet Sync off so that I could set it manually. But I'd rather have an accurate clock.

    It wasn't doing this before I reformatted and reinstalled...

    It could also be a dead motherboard battery, that's used to keep time. Check again that the click is set to the right timezone.

    There's a DST 2007 patch that you can run...some of our users machines at work didnt update, and the time keeps rolling back so we have to manually install the patch.

    Edit:
    HA I was typing this up and got distracted before I could post up
