We have a software program that we load to our agents PC's. Upon installation the EXE file used to launch the program has a Creation and Modify date of 12-17-01 and a time of 8:45. We have noticed on a couple of XP computers the time is 9:45 exactlyone hour different. We have tried to replicate the problem by changing time zones and Daylight savings time, but have been unable to duplicate.

Does anybody have an idea on why the time is one hour ahead?

I can't see that it would be an issue, unless you suspect a virus. If it won't run without the correct time, find a program to change it back.
I don't use XP, but I've heard it has some issues with the clock, maybe that's hosing things up. Check Microsoft for updates to XP.

Good Luck, hope I've helped.

We discovered that if people used the NTFS file system on Win2k, Win NT, or XP then there is a bug that changes the file time stamp by one hour.
