Okay. In the USA our time change (Spring Ahead - Fall Back one hour) started earlier and will end later. I have made this change including "unchecking" the box for automatic daylight change.

The problem is, I have noticed and corrected several times, the computer falls back one hour. On numureous occassions I have had to go back and reset the change to proper time.

Why is this happening? I am running Windows XP service pack 2. What can I do to stop this?

One theory I have is that I could be hitting websites that are not updated and as the online data is exchanged, the websites I am hitting is changing my actual computer clocks. But I am not sure about this.

Comments appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Chip I am running Windows XP with service pack 2 also and mine changed automaticatly when it was supposed to.Do you have your automatic updates on.I do and microsoft down loaded it to me.

They used to have that fix on their site for users who wanted to do it themselves.
