That's a windows setting on your computer that you need to adjust to your correct time. I never heard of one changing and not reading the time correctly, so I would suggest clicking twice very fast on your clock display at the bottom right-hand of your screen and that should bring up your clock settings. Its your computer settings and has nothing to do with this forums clock, which btw is EST by default. Of course, you can make changes to fit your timezone in your profile page.

I have clicked,the time is still screwed up~

Well, that's the only way I know how to adjust a clock setting on windows. If your computer is reading the wrong time for your timezone, then its obviously a setting that needs adjusting. Double click your clock again and see if the options come up to change it.

Hope that helps..

ok thanks~

when u click ur time and the clock window comes up to adjust it, are u clicking" apply "when u leave, i had an atom clock on my desktop , u clicked it and it went to some web sight and would compair my time to the atomic clock, and it would tell me how far my clock was off and had a button that said adjust or something, then it told me my time matched, but the man that fixed my pc i guess thought i did not need it and deleted it, lol, it was free and i had it for many years, maybe he thought it had some spyware, but he did not say,,

yeh i click apply ,but it still runs two hours behind what the real time is~

did u do the time zone and daylight savings, thing , is that what fixed it??i hope ur battery that keep the time when the puter is off is good, but off 2 hours even sounded like wrong time zone and 2 hours off est, would be daylight saving maybe also, so an even number off the battery probably is ok,

i dont understand, had it been on pacific time???? and u change it??? to central as it should be set, ??? pacific time is 2 hours behind cental, i have my health insurance in cali, and it made it easy to call them as they were open to 7 central time, that was when i was on days, and ppl started closing if u did not hurry, but being 2 hours behind made it easy,
