Yay! It's finally catching. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif My meme is finally spreading. Spell it WINDOHS to remind people how cruddy it is. Not only does this recall Homer Simpson's "D'ooh!", it carries some association with Playdoh, too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Playdoh is for people who can't make modelling gunk themselves.

We've got a recipe.

Sounds like the DST patch doesn't work... sigh.

Ya, Baron Munch., the fine products of M$: M$ Windohs, M$ Outhouse, M$ Abscess, M$ Turd...

there is a problem and microsoft does NOTHING to fix it.

Don't forget Internet Exploder. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: OT: System Clock Loses Hour
 

Actually, there is a problem because Microsoft tried to fix something. This is typical. The 'fix' for the animated cursor attack is known to break some software packages. They released it anyway because they were under a lot of pressure to 'do something' about this security hole. They are probably frantically scurrying around in their bureaucracy right now, trying to figure out how to fix the DST thing properly.

Re: OT: System Clock Loses Hour
 

Geeze.. you guys will take any opportunity you can to bash MS. It's not appropriate in threads where people are genuinely trying to get help; take it elsewhere.

Re: OT: System Clock Loses Hour
 

We are just noticing that there is no help to be had -- not entirely off topic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: OT: System Clock Loses Hour
 

Perhaps it is the BIOS system clock that is off? Maybe your hardware is trying to be too smart and compensating for DST, while the DST patch doesn't know how to deal with it.

Long shot, but if you've already tried everything else...

Re: OT: System Clock Loses Hour
 

If it wasn't for windows, third party software mfg's would have nothing to bash to be able to push their own products and little incentive to make anything better.

As for the time problems, I have had no problems on 4 pc's with the DST update so I'm sorry to be of little help. Plus I don't have the time displayed.

Also I have retreated from keeping track of time per se. I don't wear a watch anymore, eat when I'm hungry not at some arbitrary time set by some clock , ie Noon. I sleep when I'm tired, get up if it's daylight out. My internal biotime has always served me well by waking me a few minutes before the alarm, so I don't use alarm clocks anymore. I don't miss my flights and I'm very relaxed nowadays. And generally feel better for it.
