This article was previously published under Q155981

SYMPTOMS

During a time change to or from Daylight Savings Time, the time on your computer may be updated more than once.

CAUSE

Multiple settings that adjust for time changes are enabled on your computer.

RESOLUTION

Enable one of the operating systems installed on your computer, or your computer's CMOS, to adjust for Daylight Savings Time, and disable all other such settings.

For example, if your computer's CMOS has such a setting, enable the setting in the CMOS, and then disable the setting in Windows NT and any other operating system installed on your computer.

MORE INFORMATION

You can configure Windows NT version 4.0 to automatically adjust the time on your computer when Daylight Saving Time begins and ends. Many computers also allow for this automatic adjustment in the CMOS settings. Other operating systems, including Microsoft Windows 95, include this functionality as well. If more than one operating system is set to adjust for Daylight Savings Time, or your computer's CMOS is set to adjust for Daylight Savings Time, the time may be changed more than once. This causes the time to become incorrect.
