I'd also tried creating another user account, and it displayed the same behaviour as my other user account. Clock is fine both in the bios and from the user account. (obviously not on the laptop I'm using for mail, but as this isn't a "why won't windows work correctly list" I don't expect a fix from here). The only way I can use a console is to utilise the on screen keyboard, which is hit and miss at best. (gok hangs frequently). Cheers.
