Clock loses one hour exactly

Since the time change of 4 weeks ago my system clock will not stay on the
correct hour.  I was never prompted that the clock was changed for daylight
savings time as it always has in the past so I did it myself.  Since then it
will not keep the new time it remains one hour behind.  If I manually
correct it anywhere between 1-5 hours later it resets back.  I've can't
figure it out at all.


I've checked Dell's website and run their time.exe patch but it's mainly for
those that are loosing a few minutes at a time.  I'm loosing one hour and
nothing more or less.  Really weird.
I've also run the reg fix for the mexico central time 2  but still doesn't
hold.  My bios time is correct everytime I check it and time sync is off in
the control panel.

Any suggestions?

You can download Dimension 4 and set it up to set your time to the atomic

clock standard.

Windows XP queries an atomic clock over the internet and resets your time. When you manually changed it, you set it off an hour - the program dutifully puts it back.

Open that clock again - where you set the time zone. Be SURE you have it set to the right time zone. Then look at the bottom of that screen and make sure you have 'Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes' checked.

I had the same problem which seemed to elude tech support for almost one year. Finally I asked and they sent me a battery and viola my clock is now on time.
