Same here, I'm in New Zealand. During installation I always choose "No GMT" or whatever the option actually states. Found this out back when using MDK 8.0. But I've found that with MDK 9.0 changing the date/time by right-clicking the clock in the panel stuffs it all up again! Use MCC > System > Date & Time to reset the date/time AND the timezone fixes the problem. > I don't know how to change this setting after installation. IIRC using MCC as above to change your timezone gives you the "No GMT" option again. Hope that solves your problem Rich. cheers Sharrea -- Help Microsoft stamp out piracy - give Linux to a friend today Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Then I remembered that I picked GMT as the time to use to synchronize with the time server. During second installation (2 or 3 days later) I picked the other format and the problem was gone. I don't know how to change this setting after installation.

[newbie] Time Setting in KDE
Yesterday I noticed that the time setting in KDE was off by 4 hours so I right clicked on the clock and adjusted to the correct time setting. Today, when I booted the computer it was once again off by 4 hours. The other thing that happens is that when I click on the Apply button, the monitor shuts off until I hit a key! Any ideas about why this is happening all of a sudden? The only new thing installed was Opera. Rich [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
