In windows open regedit go to:

add a DWORD with name of "RealTimeIsUniversal" exactly as

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. . . .
START>Type in "regedit.exe" >HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current Control
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.
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.
