Hello,

 

I tried the local time patch of 10.5 but it doesn't work on 10.6 so i have delayed time when i go back to windows. I searched but couldn't find a new one, but i'm sure someone made it! Where is it?

 

Thanks!

 

You do it the other way in windows too if you want check post 9 in this thread for the key needing to be created/changed.

It seems to be working perfectly, many thanks!

 

Your welcome.

 

By the way, if i didn't apply the 10.5 patch in my 10.6 before doing this under Windows, it wouldn't have worked? Or it was useless to do anything in SL? I think so..

 

It would work without anything done in 10.6 or 10.5 for that matter both OS X and windows once set to universal time would be using the same method of calculating the time display, namely universal time set in BIOS +/- the time zone offset in settings = time displayed.

Unfortunatlly i'm coming back to tell you it doesn't work well. I thought it did so i didn't pay attention, but while chatting, the program hour suddenly changed so i could see it didn't work, it make me really pissed off...

Not sure what is going on there on my test machine which has windows 7 on it works well, not that it gets booted often into windows mind you but every time it does it works..

Detrich, i know, it's what i did! After doing this, the time seems correct in Windows after coming back from Snow Leopard BUT!! After a short time (maybe 30min) the time will get -1hour! No idea why! And if i fix it, after another short time, it will again & again get -1hour! I'm on Vista. So this fix really doesn't work.

Is it the Leopard patch? If so, i already did, and it doesn't work... Little off topic : Why does my new HDD (not new in fact, just new in SL) isn't seen by the system? Even in the disk utility... It is under Windows...

Do this (originally in http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversi...p/t189771.html)

 

1) Upon successful installation / setting up of OSX (choosing your time zone), it will change BIOS time to UTC, leave it. < You already have done this >

 

2) OSX should display the local time correctly upon reboot, but Windows doesn't. <done>

 

3) To fix Windows time error, launch Regedit.

 

4) Go to:

 

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation

 

5) Right click and create a new DWORD entry "RealTimeIsUniversal"

 

6) Set the value to 1.

 

6) Upon reboot, Windows should show the correct local time.

 

Worked perfectly. Done this YESTERDAY. Time is the same in mac and w7.

 

Hope it helps.

I always wonder if people read the last message before posting but it really seems not... The link you pointed is the same MacUser2525 gave me in the begining and it does not work for me. Are you sure it works? Check if your clock isn't going crazy after 20-30minutes or an hour... I'm in UTC+1 if you need to know.

I have windows 7 x64 Ultimate and Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Installed.

 

Both Times are fine.

 

BIOS time is on UTC

 

OSX is PST

Windows 7 is PST

 

Windows Registry fix is as follows:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]

"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001

 

Everything is functioning correctly now.
