Mac OS X Time anomalies and Boot Camp

[Chris14]

I am experiencing a number of time anomalies in Mac OS X (AM-PM switches, change of date etc.) This seems to have happened since I installed Boot Camp and Windows XP. Also, when I set Sys Prefs Date and Time panel to "Set date and time automatically", System Prefs crashes with the "spinning beach-ball of death".

Anyone else experiencing similar issues, or is it just me?
Thanks

i always knew that windows could never keep track of time, but i havent ever heard of anyone having problems with the time in OS X being wrong. Not sure if its an option for you, but can you remove the Windows Partition to see if it fixes the problem? But there are probably easier things to try to do to fix it first.

Specfically...

Why is the time different between Mac OS X and Windows XP on my computer?

This issue is addressed in Boot Camp Beta 1.1.

With earlier versions of Boot Camp Beta, the Windows XP and Mac OS X operating systems handle your computer's date and time information differently, so the date and time may be different when you switch operating systems. For best results, use a network time server and resync the date and time whenever you switch operating systems. In Mac OS X, use the “Set date & time automatically” option in the Date & Time preferences. In Windows XP, click the Update Now button in the “Date and Time Properties” control panel.
