I have an Acer laptop and ever since daylight saving time my clock goes back an hour every day. I change it and after I'm done w/ it I shut it off and if I go back to it later that same day the time stays right. If I shut it down for the night come back to it the next day the time goes back an hour. I have installed all of windows updates and I check daily for more updates. This is driving me crazy please help?!?!?

I'm assuming you installed the patch specifically designed for the time change. If you use Automatic Updates then the patch was installed.
Now double click the time in the bottom right hand corner of your screen so that your Date and Time Properties window opens up. Click on the "Time Zone" tab. Is there a check mark in the box that says "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes." ? If there isn't a check in that box then that is what the problem is. Put a check in there and make sure you're displaying the correct time. You may have to change it if it was displaying the wrong time before you made this change.
This has corrected the problem in all XP machines, I hope it does for you too!

The above tips are correct, EXCEPT for the suggestion about uninstalling etc.
1.check the setting for daylight savings. Are you in WA, Australia? They just introduced a trial daylight savings, but not sure if Microsoft have updated via their updates yet.
2. Make sure you area setting is correct.
3. It sounds like it is doing an auto-update every day. If all else fails, then turn this off. This is in the Internet Time tab in the Date & Time Properties.

Let's wait a couple more weeks when daylight savings time would normally have started.
I have 3 PCs here. One, with WinXP, updated.
Another with WinXP, did not.
My old Pentium III with Win98, did not.
I'm going to live with it to see if the update kicks in when it was originally scheduled.

hi this happend before with my computer with windows xp and this is what you need to do.you need to uninstall everything you have on your laptop then uninstall window xp and after that you need to uninstall windows 98. when you have done that you need to get the disc for windows 98 and install windows 98 and set the time and date. when you have done that you need to get the disc for windows xp and install that on your laptop. then you need to install everything back onto your laptop.
Good Luck!!!

Maybe this is because when you change the time you don't click Apply or OK.
