HELPROOM ANSWER Check that both the date and your regional settings are correct. If not, Windows will ‘adjust’ the times for you. In Start, Control Panel, Regional and Language Options check your location is set as United Kingdom. Next, go to the Date and Time applet in Control Panel applet and click on today’s date. On the Time Zone tab, check ‘(GMT) Greenwich Mean Time: Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London’ is set as your time zone and ‘Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes’ is selected.
