[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 626840, member: 38864"] The problem is that Windows calculates the time differently from how OS X calculates it. Here's an article that discusses it. [url]http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/mswish/ut-rtc.html[/url] OS X adheres to the "more accurate" method, called Universal Time. There is a switch in Windows XP's registry that is supposed to make it use UT, but reportedly it doesn't work very well.
