Calm down. It's not the apocalpyse.

It's the stupid early daylight savings time. all the computerized equipment was pre-programmed to make the switch several weeks from now, but they decided to make it early this year. so all the pre-set electronic stuff is having a FREAK OUT.

You have to update the software. some computers will do it automatically, but you may have to download software. Our IT guy at work sent us this info:
-------------------
If you have computers at home that are running Windows XP Service Pack 2, you should receive the update automatically. If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 1 or earlier, please go to the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/dst_topissues.

If you currently run Mac’s OS/X at home, please refer to the following link for assistance: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305056.
-------------------

re your cell phone, try turning it off completely, wait a few seconds, and turn back on (all in the auto update setting). that worked on mine. same thing for the cable box. if that doesn't work, call the company.

Even if I took ALL my devices off of automatic updates and switched them to manual? And DST was awhile ago? This has been going on for weeks....I can't explain it...

the computer cannot fix this without the software updates. download the software.

re your phone...turning it off should reset it. if not take it to your wireless dealer and make them deal with it. same with cable.

and DST was a few weeks ago, so this lines up perfectly with all your trouble.

good luck!

This explains why my alarm clock kept going forward an hour for several days. I was waking up in the mornings very confused about why my alarm was going off at different times other than what I set it to.

Funny, my computer hasn't been freaking out.

I'd honestly be more impressed if your analog clocks that don't sync with the Atomic Clock did this too.
