I just logged on, and my clock is behind one hour. AGAIN. I know it's the time zone or something stupid. But it is all correct. And for some reason it keeps getting behind one hour.
I live in Indiana. Time zone is set to Eastern. I run on this computer with 3 log-ins. One for me as administrator. And one for me and my wife, to keep security. So of course we can't change it without knowing it. My administrator login is password protected.

It's been changed in the bios, and I've changed it in the administrator profile, I've changed my profile type from limited to administrator and changed it before. And it keeps going back ONE hour. What am I missing here, this is silly and driving me nuts!

The Passport service has the same issue (or it did two years ago, anyway...). A dozen Indiana counties are Central. Apparently there is a mixup with Windows time servers. I think it has something to do with the recent DST changes. There may be a hotfix available at Windows Update.

turn off automatic daylight saving adjustment and internet time synchronization, that might fix it

As far as i know a lot of Indiana, or maybe all of it, isn't central, but does not use daylight saving either. You set it to eastern time but have the "automatically adjust" checked. Take it out it should be fine.

Microsoft has never been able to make time zones and DST work. The Danish version of Vista turns the clock the wrong way when going from summer to winter time. (This might have been fixed in the Service Packs, though.)
