    I am running Build 3186, purchased a day or so ago. Having a frustrating time with the WinXP clock. It seems to be locked to the OS X clock, where the current OS X time is always taken to mean Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8). When I change the time zone to where I actually am (GMT+8), WinXP will set the clock to back by an appropriate amount. If I set the time to local time, the clock will stay set momentarily, then flip back to OS X time.

    It's driving me nuts, because i sometimes have to use Outlook Web Access to access my email that is sitting on a machine. When that happens events get messed up on the Exchange server.

    Help!

    does disabling the time sync in the Parallels Tools Center not help ?

    why are you not running the Mac on local time?

    It might mess with the mac file system to have two system clocks
