andsome Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I noticed that my computer clock is one hour fast. I tried correcting this with the Internet clock but I get a message that an error occurred and the time could not be adjusted. I can correct the time by removing the tick in the box that says 'automatically adjust for daylight saving changes', but surely this is not right? I Googled and found the number of the patch issued by MS to reset American computers due to changes in their daylight saving hours. It is KB931836-X86-ENU.exe. I found that this is installed so I have uninstalled it, but the clock is still wrong unless I remove the daylight saving box tick. With or without the patch, the Internet time adjustment will no longer work. Anyone else had a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Anyone else had a problem?No, we don't use daylight saving :D Anyway, have you checked your Regional Settings that you are in the right time zone?Also, have you tried uninstalling 931836?And just out of curiosity: are you now on daylight saving time?

-pops- Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 My times are correct but I'm unable to synchronise any of my three machines with either Windows time or NIST time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am puzzled by my small problem however. I am not certain when it first happened. I noticed it a couple of days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted April 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Problem solved. Someone in the other place suggested opening the Internet clock window and instead of the usual two addresses, type in europe.pool.ntp.org. This works a treat, and I now have my little box ticked again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
