I had my backup setting
up the first PC and then imaging them and he kept the 98. Anyway it went
okay at first, but for some reason the clock is always an hour behind. Its
checked off to automatically compensate for Daylight Savings Time, is set
for the eastern U.S., and is set to the proper time. But once it is
rebooted it is once more an hour behind. (I checked at the Microsoft
Website but saw nothing related to this.)
Any ideas?

Have you checked the clock in your BIOS settings? It is located under the Standard CMOS Setup. Change to the correct time there and see if that helps.

You say you are installing a backup image? If this is the case, if your backup was made before daylight savings time, your image has no idea that the change has occurred. You will have to set it manually or do a new backup since D.S.T. has happened.

If you are logging into a network, your PC's may be getting the time from the server which will override the PC internal clock. Is the time on the server correct?
