after daylight savings time update, still wrong time

I should have mentioned that I did manually set the clock to the correct
time, but it was somehow automatically set back to the wrong time.

OS: Windows XP Pro SP2

I'm in Boise, ID (MST). My clock is displaying the wrong time (it displays
an hour ahead of the correct time).

I went to Windows Update and tried to run the DST update. I get this error
message:

Title: KB931836 Setup Error
Message: Update cannot be installed as a newer or same timezone update has
already been installed on the system

I tried restarting my machine, hoping that perhaps the update had been
installed but not yet applied. No help.

In my Date and Time Properties I do *not* have a tab for setting time from a
time server.

Thanks for any guidance you can give on fixing this problem.

Do *not* change the machine's time manually.

Start -> Run -> cmd -> time

Hello--I'm also having "dynamic, ongoing" reverting of the internal clock in
my Windows 2000, and manual re-setting or setting of time zone doesn't stop
it. I don't know what your last line means--is that a solution to this
problem? I may need more explanation of how what to do in DOS.

Thanks!

I had one 2003 server that did this to me. Removing the update and trying to
reinstall did not work. It told me I was already updated. So I found TZEDIT
on microsoft's website and I followed their instructions and created a new
Eastern Time Zone for myself. To get it to take, I copied the current Eastern
Time Zone name but left off Canada so I could see the difference. Then I set
the correct dates for the new standards and I applied it. It appears to be
holding. Previously I was restarting the time service and it would reset.
After creating this new zone and restarting the service, it is still correct
after a time synch.

Not perfect but it will do as I am doing away with this server for a new one
anyway.

Good luck!

You should also have mentioned whether you do any dual booting with
other NTx OS... ; )

The best solution is a time server.
