Daylight saving time change

My PC did not change the time as it is supposed to. What could be wrong, any
suggestion? Thanks!

Do you have the correct time zone configured for your location and checked
the box "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" checked?

No problems experienced here running Win Me where it switched from BST to
GMT this morning.

Yes it is Mike. I think my problem with the AV and outlook express that I
posted earlier might be related to this also. The post is "Appearance of
weired dates in outlook express" It is very strange. Thanks for the reply!

How very odd. You could try changing to another time zone and then
changing back to see if this clears the problem. You might also want to
try accessing the motherboard bios and resetting the time there,

Mike after all this time I should know but how do I access to the motherboad?
I have this utility called web time that I used to set the time correctly but
I am affraid that is a temporary relief.

Sorry Chris, I realise I wasn't very clear in my earlier post. What I was
suggesting was that you enter the motherboard bios and play around with
the time there before resetting it correctly and exiting. Do this as the
system first boots. The actual key stroke(s) needed to access the bios
vary from manufacturer to manufacturer with a good place to start being
Del (the delete key). Often you should see the key required displayed in
white text on black before the system POST (Power On Self Test) where you
will probably see some of your hardware listed (still white on black)
after which the system then starts to load Win Me and the splash screen
displays (if enabled).

The specific key sequence used to access the bios is dependent upon the
BIOS vendor and/or PC manufacturer. In addition to DEL other combinations
include ....
F1
F2
and less often,
Ctrl + Alt + Esc
Ctrl + Alt + Ins

If your system isn't holding the time correctly when powered down this is
probably due to the battery on the motherboard needing replacement. To do
this requires you to open the case.

Mike upon booting I get this Bios F12, so I clicked. I get Boot Device menu:
1.Normal, 2.Diskette Drive., 3. Hard-Disk Drive C., and 4. IDE CD-Rom Device.
Which one do I go for, if I am at the right place?

Wrong place. Try Del.

Be careful what you change in there. Change the time only.

My Bios, pressing F1, version: A05 reports the correct time and date. I have
a Del 4300 by the way. Since I changed the time to the proper time with the
utility I mentioned earlier now I don't know whether I am good to go or what?
I still have some e-mails dated 12/05 which we are not there yet. One thing I
have noticed though that now my AV (AVG) IS NOT reporting that: "the
internal virus database is out of date" as it did before and seems blood is
flowing through it. How do I find out if my system battery is on its way out?
I have been expreriencing fast time for the last year or two hence the use of
the above time utility. Thanks!
