Silly question maybe, but ya gotta check.

My MS clock says we are in NZ Daylight TimeYou're a very clever chap, trig42. Checked this and sure enough it was unticked! Still don't know how this happened (it was ticked and everything was fine until last weekend) but now my system clock is back to displaying the correct time. Thanks heaps. :thumbs:

Thanks to everyone who offered advice on this one. Real minor in scale, but real annoying too!! :)

526030 2007-02-21 06:03:00 I also checked and mine was also unticked. I know I ticked it last time I reformatted, so guess something, possibly an update, unticked it. Thanks. supergran (108)
526031 2007-02-21 13:11:00 Probably that Windows update relating to US Daylight Saving that appeared in last week's big bundle.
(Mine are customised, so I deliberately dodged it)

Seems like a sneaky trick - unticking settings - but having noticed a bunch of unknown M/S bitsy "programs" ( significantly not listed in my Add/Remove) in my EasyCleaner list a few weeks back, I guess those were snuck in during updates.
Doubtless I should check their pedigree, but the antivirus stuff isn't yelling, & there are so many that I assume they came as extra junk for something I didn't want.

Blaming M/S sneakiness for this at present, anyway.
If it turns out that I maligned them, I'll grovel later.
