Hi,

My XP'Clock sometimes changes back an hour. It seems related to the summer days saving time. For example, after I change it to the correct time 8 am, a few days later it become 7 am. It will not become 6 am.



Thanks.

You probably don't have the correct Zone selected. Are you Eastern? Pacific
etc, make sure the correct zone is selected and it should adjust for that
Zone.
Note: SHOULD

Almost certainly, it's auto-synching to the correct time (which
it does once a week, by default), and you have it set to the
wrong time zone.

Correct the time zone by right-clicking on the clock and choosing
"Adjust Date/Time."

Message Details show you as -0800. That's Pacific Time.

Double click the Clock.

[[To change your time zone, click the Time Zone tab. In the box above the
map, click the drop-down arrow, and then click your current time zone. ]]

If you live where daylight saving time is observed...
[[If you want your computer's clock to be adjusted automatically when
daylight saving time changes, make sure the Automatically adjust clock for
daylight saving changes check box is selected. This setting is located on
the Time Zone tab. ]]

If you do not live where daylight saving time is observed...
make sure the Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes check
box is *NOT* selected.

Double click the Clock.

Internet Time tab.

Click the Update Now button.

The Update Now button is not available unless the Automatically synchronize
with an Internet time server check box is selected.
