I'm using Dimension 4 (D4) too, but I don't have that same problem. (If
IT is throwing your clock off by 9 hours, that sounds pretty weird).

double-click the clock in the Systray?

When I change my time zone, this is one registry key that is affected:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\TimeZoneInformation

The "ActiveTimeBias" and "Bias" parameters appear to hold the UTC
offset.

For example, these are the values of the affected parameters for my

"ActiveTimeBias"=hex:a8,fd,ff,ff
"StandardName"="AUS Eastern Standard Time"
"DaylightName"="AUS Eastern Daylight Time"
"Bias"=hex:a8,fd,ff,ff

The bias value of 0xfffffda8 is equal to -600 decimal. This appears to
be the UTC offset in minutes.

I'm wondering if the "ActiveTimeBias" has been incorrectly set to "C0

If so, then you might like to try changing your time zone to some
other, apply the change, and then change back to your preferred time
zone. Maybe this procedure will reset the above parameters, assuming
they are broken. If the numbers are still wrong, then you could
manually edit them, or look for damage in some other registry key.

The data in that CurrentControlSet key derives from the appropriate sub-key
in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Tim e Zones\your time
zone. (In NT systems, it's \Windows NT\ instead of \Windows\.) The data is
written when you Apply a new Time Zone. The first thing to do if you suspect
corruption of that key is to choose a different time zone, apply it, and
then reset to the desired TZ. If the corruption is still there, then the
info in the above key is the problem.

I have a download that replaces the entire TZ key with current settings, up
to date -- except for Pakistan's, where they recently changed the law
without much warning. I still don't know what their new law(s) prescribe for
Standard and Daylight times. I need to find out and update the file. This
article is the jumping off point:
http://www.grystmill.com/articles/tz_update.htm

Note that you may want to take the file apart and inspect the REG files.
Running the EXE includes a script that uses the SendKeys method, so keep
your hands off the keyboard and just watch the show unless prompted. If the
script stalls or does not execute at all (lots of possible reasons), don't
worry. Just Merge the appropriate REG file and then change the TZ in the
Time/Date applet, apply, and then change it back.

Which means your clock should read UTC -7. Because we're still on Daylight
time. See my reply to Franc, at 2:27 Pacific Daylight Time, for a fix. Or
just go to my site and follow the trail.

my answers are embedded below. these are both with D4 installed and
uninstalled. With D4 installed, my system clock reads 11:28 am--which is 9
hours before my current time of 8:28 pm.
