I just did a fresh install of Win7 Pro 64bit and it won't allow me to change my time zone or region.It has the time zone set to International Date Line West and the Region is set to Africa.When I try to change it it just rolls back. I tried installing Win7 Ult x64 and the same thing happened.This is really getting frustrating and I can't seem to find anyr it.I checked my BIOS and the date and time are correct for where I am, ESTWhen I try to install a program like Avast where you choose the language it automatically selects some other language like an Arabic or something that doesn't even use English letters.
Once in a while I find that the time zone moves from GMT to Pacific Time.Has anyone any idea what would cause this, new CMOS battery fitted, which ever time zone shows the time is correct for that zone. Checked the BIOS and that also changes.I dual boot two Win 7 installations.
i'm having a problem with the Time Zone selection, i'm running Windows 7 professional x64 and I want to change my time zone but it only lists two, which does not include the one i want... i right click on the clock (on right-down corner) , then adjust date/time, and i click on Change time zone button. then it brings me a drop down list which i can select, it only includes two time zones; UTC +2 and UTC +4. what i want is UTC/GMT +1 (Sweden time). how can i add an additional time zone to the drop down list so i can select it?
Have a Windows 7 64bit Compaq laptop. Tried to change time and set the time zone, but nothing works. Changed to the correct time in bios, but still cannot get a time zone "installed" It says your current time zone is not regognized. Please select a valid time zone, but the change time zone button does nothing. Tried to set additional clocks but NO time zones are listed in the drop menu. Also can't change date and time option the "ok" button is grayed out. Any help would be fantastic.
So I have about 800 pc's that we are deploying and going to image with Windows 7 Pro 32bit. I have only used Windows 7 sysprep a few times and have been working on getting a new answer file working on it.I have also everything working the way I want to. The only screen I want the user to be prompted for is the computer name screen. Right now it asks for the computer name like it should but also comes up with the time and timezone screen with the correct info so I have to click next.I have made sure to put in the correct time zone info and everything but it keeps coming up with the time zone page.
Seems every time after power down and on again the next day, the system time and/or date are wrong. Noticed it first when Kaspersky software complained about being out of date right after updating. This doesn�t seem to happen as long as the machine is left on. What could cause that? The machine is only a few months old. Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit Intel Core i3-2100 CPU, 3.1GHz, RAM 8G
Warning: the following descriptions involve time travel - you may or may not go cross-eyed. This gets complicated, so follow closely.Windows (7, 64bit, build 7600) Explorer is showing a -6 hour difference in time from my actual file date. This is NOT simply the time difference between my computer (in Central time zone) and the server (on Eastern time). Explorer is ignoring the server's time stamp and subtracting exactly 6 hours from the time of the what the server should say. I know this because I'm also looking at the exact same folder and files using XP and the time stamps are exactly as they should be. I modified a file locally (on Windows 7) and copied it up to the server. The time stamp local is 9:36a. The time stamp on the server should be 10:36a, but instead it says 4:36a. So, I copied a file from the server back to here and it reports locally 6 hours later (10:38a) than what is on the server (4:38a). Looking at the exact same files through explorer on XP shows that the time should have been 10:38a.
If it wasn't for time showing correctly on XP, I'd assume it was a problem at the server, but there seems to be something in either the display of time, or in the way it sends the file's time-stamp.And now I'm testing it on another ftp server, which I think has their time set to UTC (my 10:00a is their 4:00p). Using XP, I create a brand new file locally, and transmit it to this server. It initially appears with the same timestamp as the original file (10:16a). I then do a refresh of the server list (in XP) and it jumps forward 6 hours (4:16p). I look at this server with Windows 7 and it shows that the file has a timestamp of 10:16a. So I copy that file (using Windows 7) to its local drive and it tells me that the timestamp is 4:16p (later today).
I have continued to have my computer report the wrong time by 20 to 30 min after correcting it multiple times. My computer does go to sleep, but has a internally clock and should not do this.

using windows 7 home premium sp1 with zone alarm, the checkpoint option is becoming annoying, when it pops up fine but then it keeps popping up telling me not to send any more info to zone alarm, when I click ok or the x button it disappears only to reappear moments later, once is fine, how can I stop it recurring, or is there a better option?
I'm running windows 7 ultimate and have had no problems until a few days ago when the os stopped me installing software. The error message is 'These files can't be opened' 'Your internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened'. I've restored the computer to a previous date without success. I've run a virus scan which found 2 Trojans and a malicious software. These have been removed. The main problem - apart from not being able to install any programs is that I cannot change the internet properties as some items appear barred. I really don't want to format the hard drive and start again.
I have a WD MyBook Essentials that I've had for some 4 years now. Every time I plug it into a different computer, I need to take ownership of its contents before I can access the files in it.I don't move it around much so that's fine, but today I installed Windows 7 Professional (first time installing Win7 on my PC, still experienced with the OS) & have had trouble taking ownership. It works just fine, but most of the files & folders still have a lock icon on them, & I'm unable to actually open/run any files whatsoever.
i'm using Windows Steady State for security purpose. when we create new user in steady state the first time it will ask the user log off time .this option is already mark but if we don't need to log off our user in specific timing we need to unmark this option , but i have forgot to unmark this option. and now when i idle for 20-30 min. my system is automatically log off . now i need to change this settings so, what should i do ?
Whenever I try to make a change in Internet Time Settings to the server and press either "OK" or "Update Now", I receive an error "Your changes could not be saved." I have searched for a fix but nothing I've tried has worked.
Every time I boot up my fonts change to smaller size and then I have to close program and open again to get it normal size for example I use incredimail for my email program. when I boot up the words are very small so I close incredimail and re open and its okay with larger letters. I have Nortons security sometimes the window is smaller then sometimes gets to a bigger size
Main computer is the office computer. Its a desktop that a person is constantly on and doing stuff. There are 3 others that need the same information and documents at any given time. These 3 people have their laptops that are constantly switching wifi hotspots. They need to change information sometimes, and need access to all of it any time. The way its setup now is 1 person is on the main computer, but when one of the three need to access it, they remotely log in and take control. Only one person can access the computer at a time. How do I set it up so all four of these people can access and change the files at the same time if they want? The main computer is being used constantly, but someone always needs a document or file while the main person is working on it. So it slows production when someone logs in.
I was stupid enough to manually delete my acronis files when I couldn't uninstall it the ordinary way.
Now windows 7 gives a short BSOD after logo and computer restarts. Startup repair doesn't fix the problem, neither from my windows 7 usb or from laptop, I have tried it several times.
I don't have any system restore created. I don't have any system image either to restore to either.
I really don't want to do a clean install again and wanted to try to do a repair upgrade, the problem is I can't boot into windows to begin with, and this seems to be needed to do a repair upgrade. When I try to do it from the USB it says I need to boot into windows first.
Is there a way to start the repair upgrade without having to boot into windows?
When I press F8 I don't get the options of safe mode, probably because I set the "time to display list of os to 0". Since I can't boot into windows 7 I can't change this above 0. Is there a a way to set this time above 0 from command prompt from my windows 7 installation usb?
