Anyone come across this happening to them before?
I did a search, nothing showed up.
I had noticed that my computer did not change during the recent spring forward D.S.T. adjustment.
So I put it forward, but when I started my Fantastic Poker Software, and told it to start the countdown, it said 23:45:10 and counting down, then I realized its time of day was ahead of the cpu's by an hour, causing it to think I wasn't starting til tomorrow?

Anyone, any ideas????
Other than setting my cpu back the hour, seems redundant.

Thanks
Pat

I can't say I have solved this problem with this software specifically, but have had a similar problem with other software. Has a lot to do with your computer's automatic adjustment for daylight savings. I solved the problem by turning off the automatic adjustment and manually changing the time. Sure, it is something that has to be done manually instead of automatically... but only twice a year doesn't seem like a huge inconvenience to me.

Another little tidbit of info that should be taken from this post... there are numerous software titles that suffer from DST errors. Not sure if it is the software code or OS causing the problem though.

I will do as people said in the other thread, if that don't work, the manual time change should fix it.

Thanks

Move to Arizona. We don't have daylight savings time, so we don't have to worry about it.

I support Daylight Savings Time. I just don't support Standard Time.
