I'd check to make sure your clock isn't syncing up with an Internet clock in a different time zone.

But don't ask me where to check that at. <g>

Interestingly, on many computers I use, lately, my clocks continue to lose time on a daily basis. Really odd.

you aren't by any chance running a dell with windows xp on it, are you?

if so, there's a patch on the dell support site for you...
