A few guesses:Are you sure your time zone is set correctly? That could be the easy one.Is the time slow or fast? If it is 10 - 12 hours behind, it might be that the CMOS battery is starting to fade. Not likely, but possible. Usually, if the CMOS battery gets weak, you will lose a little time constantly, not at reboot. You might want to check the battery for proper voltages or just change it out for a new one.Since the task bar clock takes its settings from the system time beginning when you install your operating system and goes on from there time zone problems are most likely.
