Resolving the clock issues while running Windows in Bootcamp

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

I had clock issues after installing Windows XP in Bootcamp. Every time I would start up Windows, the system clock would be four hours behind the actual time.  I would change the time manually and everything would seem OK.  After that I would re-boot in OSX and guess what?  The clock in OSX was now four hours behind!  I would click the clock and it would reset itself to the current time.

The resolution to this was quite simple!

First step: Adjust the time in both Windows and OSX to be time.apple.com & click daylight savings time.

Second step: Log into Windows and run "regedit".

Third step: in regedit, go to the following tree: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > TimeZoneInformation

Fourth step: right-click "TimeZoneInformation" and add the following DWORD key: RealTimeIsUniversal

Fifth step: set the DWORD key "TimeZoneInformation" DValue to "1".

Sixth step: Save & Exit regedit.

All done!
