From my desktop pc any forum that I normally access has the time wrong. The time is set right in the corner. Accessing from a laptop I use, the times are correct. What is up with my pc?

Or just double-click the time/date on the lower-right, go in Time-Zone and change it.

you are the second one to report that - I bet your PC didnt get the DST update from windws updates

the OLD DST would have JUST changed


you need to check your PC for DST update from Microsoft - if you didnt get that update you likely are WAY behind on other updates

Thanks Doug, you win. It seems somehow, someone at somepoint disabled Windows Update. Problem solved and computer is now up to date.

OK, new problem. The past few days I have not been getting any sound when watching YouTube videos. Sound works fine if I use winamp, media player, etc. Volume shows to be turned up and not muted in the youtube window.

ETA - It might or might not have stopped working when Firefox updated to .13

I updated to FF3b5 and reinstalled flash. Still no sound from YouTube or the likes. Ideas?
