Default Re: time

hmm, I'd make sure that the time in your BIOS is set to the right time.
And then boot up your computer, if it isn't the right time - set it.
And make sure you shut down correctly, as I've often found if i just click the reset button, my settings never save, like background & clock.

Default Re: time

It sounds to me like your CMOS battery needs replacing.

Default Re: time

I had the same problem too. It would be fine for a week and then just randomly set itself 3 hours earlier.

Last time I noticed that it was set for Pacific time (Windows default, I believe). I just found out that Windows XP will syncronize with a Microsoft time server at regular intervals if the option is checked. My computer was setting itself to Pacific time (I'm over in the Eastern zone) every week.

To change these settings:

Right-click the time
Select "Adjust Date/Time"

There are three tabs:
First is the time
Second is the time zone
Third is the option to syncronize with a time server
