Can anyone assist me by any chance?

I have a Macbook Pro with Bootcamp 1.2 and XP installed, everytime I boot into XP or reboot my clock is an hour slow, in the Date&Time setting my timezone is set as GMT and Automatically adjust for daylight savings is checked.

Now I have to manually set the time everytime I boot into XP.

OS X is showing the correct time, just XP for some annoying as hellr eason always is 1 hour behind.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Cheers

Edit I guess setting the clocl to GMT +1 timezone for amsterdam etc would work fine
 
from the depths of fake macs.... go onto osx86 wiki and its on the tips and tricks in there... you have to trick xp to use same method of time calc as os x
 
i have this problem on my oh so real mac laptop... which is a vaio. on another point does anybody know how to get an Nvidia card to use a laptop display for OSX with QE/CI?i cant get it to work :(
 
basically i've been experimenting with OSX on my vaio laptop, but can only get the full graphical goodness with an external monitor, not the built in one.

Indeed, I do catch your drift, I'm hardly the main offender in this thread though. :)
 
Great, I set XP to amsterdam time (+1 gmt) to get the right time, it has now gone back an hour, so when I set to GMT in date&time XP shows as two hours behind now :(

Really weird!
 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001

that fixes it, but windows time attempts to "correct" it, and it ends up at GMT, so just disable time syncing:) and its all good..... hate it now though with my TV card, ends up knocking the guide an hour out of whack


Plus if i disable syncing it reenables next boot... so disable the service i reckon

If you set your windows time to normal as in GMT (+1hr BST) and set Mac OS X to i think it is somewhere near portugal that is 2hrs behind UK BST it keeps OSX in the right time and Windows aswell

That didn't work :( OSX is set and is fine as you stated, and XP has recently been fine from a reboot, but today it went back an hour again :(

I'm not going to start spouting off about how its illegal to discuss OSX86 stuff on this forum - since I don't own it and I get no extra brownie points for having a go.

However - those who are having problems with MacOSX on their Vaios or other non Mac computers - if you want to use MacOSX, stop being a cheap ass mofo and go and buy a Mac. Then all your problems will be gone... *poof* just like that.

Other then that, i suggest you stick to using your sub-standard Wind0ze OS. HAHAHAHAHAH WINDOWS. What a joke. HAHAHAAHHAHAH :D
