OSX Messes Up System Time


4 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Whenever I have a system that multi-boots with any version of OS X I can recall, it messes the system time in other OS's. Right now on my netbook I'm in 7 and it says it's 2:41AM when it's 10:41PM. I know when I multi-boot with Linux and Windows only, time stays fine. OS X is the only one that seems to mess the time on Windows/possibly other OS's. Does anyone know of a fix? And yes, my regional time etc. seems fine.. Also, Ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 after about 30 seconds, it auto-fixed to the correct time.

Ok I have same issue and this just fixed it so far.

 

Go here in registry on windows.

 

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\

 

Add new DWord named "RealTimeIsUniversal" set value to "0"

 

Set time to correct time in windows and reboot.

For me the time was still correct after reboot which wasnt happening before.

That linked article has the worst explanation of the issue I've ever seen. UTC does not mean "Official U.S. Time Clock"!

 

But the registry fix is correct. There was a bug with Vista having the wrong time again after resuming from sleep, but it was fixed in SP2.
