But only in XP.
it is fine in Linux

it is always an hour behind, i stopped it from synchronising too, but it is still wrong when i restart.

Tried playing with the clock but adjust for DST is ticked, and if i untick it goes back a further hour.

   Could be a wonky BIOS setting, or CMOS battery.  If you don't allow it to sync with the net, the only place a wrong time setting can come from, is BIOS.  Give it a check.

  That is odd.  And your Linux partition is okay, you say?

  Could be a wonky BIOS.  Are there any patches available for yours?  Or maybe a faulty CMOS battery.  If it's not that, then it's a puzzle to me.  (Of course the fact that it's a dual boot machine may or may not be significant.)

Not, exactly, a cure, Lisa. But, if you install this...

...it'll put your clock right, on boot-up, without you even knowing it.
