    UTC problem at boot.

    On win2k3 and win7, if I have my time setup as UTC instead of RTC, on bootup my time is way off.

    Every time too.

    I have to figure out what time it is by looking at the laser clock thingy online and then adjust mine back to norm.
    It's fine after that.
    Then I restart my pc, and once back into windows it's probably 12hours off or so.

    Anyone have a fix :| ?
    I will need to use utc in a program of mine in the future but I need windows to behave 1st...


    Edit:

    I found these pages:

    I figured out that once on UTC, windows will no longer mess with your cmos clock values, it plain won't.
    So if you adjust it after setting it to utc, and reboot, the change will revert.

    To fix, you have to do all the changes in the bios it's self, windows can't doit anymore.
    So anyways, I increased the hr count by 5, which relates to eastern time (I set cmos to utc, +5 over eastern, windows is set to utc+eastern so it's -5 from utc's cmos value).
    All fixed, no more probs , yay...
