Incorrect Time Zone

Options

Hi,

I have Dell PC. Normally under Date & Time setting, I should be able to change Time Zone to "London UK".

No London UK is not listed. None of the UK cities are listed. The only nearest option I can go to is (UTC-1200) International Date Line West.

Also as a Barclays customer I also gee free kaspersky internet security. I have just had my renewal activation code which I tried but it dosen't work. I have read help pages on Kaspersky website and it shows it might be happening if the Date & Time setting are wrong.

Any idea how can I update my Time Zone with UK city?

Thanks
MS

    You want UTC not UTC-1200

    (UTC = GMT)

    If you are continually losing your correct date and time settings at start up, then your CMOS battery needs replacing. 5 minute job, cost about £1.50.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • Control Panel / Region and Language / set it for UK, then you will get all the other things you are looking for.

    Hope this helps
