From: msg on 31 Mar 2010 01:47 Every few days the clock on my computer jumps back exactly one hour. Each time, I manually reset the correct time. I have the right time zone, date, etc. I have XP. Can anyone tell me whats happening every few days to make this happen?

But you probably don't have it set properly to use DST. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Probably your System has not been updated to use the newer dates for the switch to Daylight Savings time (now occurs in March instead of the first Sunday in April). Despite your setting your clock, your system is going on the network and resetting your clock to a time server somewhere on the network. A couple things you can do: o Update your computer to recognize current Time Zone dates: "August 2009 cumulative time zone update for Microsoft Windows operating systems" <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970653> o Stop the service that sets your computer to network server time Start->Run-> w32tm /unregister o Wait until next Sunday when your computer should switch to Daylight time - at which time you will be in sync with the world again.
