a few weird problems

Hi,
1) Everytime I boot up my computer my apple clock is wrong its always four hours ahead. My timezone and everything is set correctly and the time is set correctly. Then I hit lock to make sure no changes can be made, now all of sudden I boot up it says 7:48 instead of 3:48. Anyone know what might the problem be? Thanks

2) I try to open my ichat, but it just bobs up and down on my dock but nothing opens, what could be the problem here?

thanks in advance for the all the help guys

Can't help you but fwiw, my WinXP installation (via BootCamp) has the same exact problem with the time zone, I can't get it to be where I want. It keeps defaulting to Redmond WA time.

weird im running winxp bootcamp too, could the two be related, it pisses me off that I have to keep changing it. Its just a hassle

Is it happening to you in WinXP, or in OS X?

osx , i have only seen it happen twice in xp

Sounds like a broken OS... try repairing disk permissions.

Or try running MainMenu and see if it gets fixed.
