fady212 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I have XP dual booting with OS X on my Macbook...everytime I restart or shut down my computer or switch Operating systems my clocks change their time (in both XP and OS X). I have to rest them back accordingly. The dates remain correct but the time shifts. Any help in solving this would be appreciated.

Cyman Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I also wonder why Windows XP is two hours back after using Mac OS X. I always have to sync the time via Internet. Mac OS X always displays the right time, though!

PeteUD Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I think it's due to your installation time Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13885-why-do-my-clocks-keep-changing/#findComment-88397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrunner Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 OSX doesn't set BIOS clock to local time while Linux and Windows usually sets it to local time. There is your difference. If you are on GMT, there is no difference. The easiest solution is to synchronize your clock from the Internet with each OS; OSX does this automatically, while WinXP doesn't (but you could run a batch file to resync).
