In windows open regedit go to:

add a DWORD with name of "RealTimeIsUniversal" exactly as

time play nice
with any linux distro, no matter if you use localtime or
UTC.


In accordance with Juan's instructions somewhere in this thread, I went
to Google
and got slightly more detailed instructions, which I am going to repeat
here, for
those who are as faked out as I was. (I'm not a Windows expert--I'm not
really
a Linux expert, either, but I'm probably more familiar with PCLINUXOS
than with
XP. So here it is, from "lifehacker.com/5742148. . . .

Thanks. Very clear instructions, for a non-Windows user. There's only
one program I boot WIndows for - and that's Adobe Digital Editions. Why
*I* should have to run Adobe Digital Editions in order to get my
purchased ebook encrypted instead of the bookstore escapes me.

Just a few click-notes, while I'm doing it:

I'm using WIndows XP.


START>Type in "regedit.exe" >HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current Control
START>RUN. not just START
Set\Control\Time Zone Information

Right click anywhere in the right-hand panel, select NEW>DWORD Value
Type in the box (no spaces, no quotes) "RealTimeIsUniversal"> double
click, change value from 0 to 1, select hexadecimal if not already
selected.
click on "OK"
close registry editor

Close window--you're done.

It's real easy, but you have to actually do it to realize that.

Thank you to Mr. deJuan for finding this fix and passing it on.
