| 526019 | 2007-02-20 02:40:00 | Being a bit of a gadget-geek, I have a utility called Chronograph which runs in place of my system clock (in the Systray) - it looks prettier than than M$ clock. This application synchronises with one of the US Atomic clocks in Colorado once a day so my laptop is running the correct time to the microsecond (at least for a second or two). Yesterday, I noticed after a synchronisation that the time displayed was a hour behind the actual time. Manually synchronising the time didn't help. I did a Microsoft Update in the weekend - I have a vague recollection of a Daylight Saving Time software update that may have been included in this bunch of patches, but was sure that this applied only to Surfer Joe and his kin. (Speaking of whom - we haven't heard from him in a while!!) Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get Chronograph behaving again? I am running XP SP2, Regional Settings set to "New Zealand" (as is Location). |

| 526020 | 2007-02-20 03:03:00 | Try adjusting the time on the M$ clock. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 526021 | 2007-02-20 03:27:00 | My normal puter clock was out by an hour yesterday morning too, and I thought, oh, oh, motherboard battery, but hasnt' lost a minute since! Has the daylight saving changed and put us out an hour? | supergran (108) | ||
| 526022 | 2007-02-20 03:35:00 | Try adjusting the time on the M$ clock.I did that, but when I started Chronograph again, it synchronised with the Atomic Clock and I was slow by an hour again... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 526023 | 2007-02-20 03:37:00 | Check the BIOS ( you have to reboot then go into the BIOS), check the time here. Most programs rely on the BIOS, to have the right time. Which maybe why it keeps going back an hour. Even tho, Windows clock maybe right. |

Has the daylight saving changed and put us out an hour?NZ Daylight Saving still has a few weeks to run - but I am wondering whether a M$ software patch to change DST because of a change to some American legislation may have wrought havoc in less (self-)important countries... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 526025 | 2007-02-20 03:51:00 | I think it is the Australian Time Zone Update causing this, if you get no more replies and want to know more then get back and I will get the MS numbers, you can uninstall it if you have not deleted the backup using Ccleaner. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 526026 | 2007-02-20 21:07:00 | zqwerty - I assume the patches you refer to are KB909915 (for those with Exchange Server) or KB912475 (for non-Exchange Server users). If so, is there an easy way of establishing the presence of the patch on the PC other than going to Add/Remove Programs (with Show Updates set to On) and doing an eyeball-inspection? I had a quick look in Add/Remove last night but couldn't actually spot it by eyeballing - there are far too many patches to look at and the numbers are all so damn similar!! :waughh: |

| 526028 | 2007-02-21 02:35:00 | Is the automatically adjust for Daylight Savings box ticked. Silly question maybe, but ya gotta check. My MS clock says we are in NZ Daylight Time |
