Universal Time Not Working

How do you get Universal Time to work correctly in Vista?
I added this key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001
and adjusted the clock in bios to GMT-0.
Vista SP1 boots correctly to local time (GMT-7 in this case).
After about 3600 secs Eventlog (ID 6013) logs an uptime announcement event
and sets the clock back to GMT-0. If I resync the clock, the same thing will
happen 7200 secs after boot. If I don't resync the clock, no further uptime
event log.

Short of moving to Greenland, is there any solution to this problem?

Re: Universal Time Not Working

You can have more than one clock in Vista. See the help app on that.

Re: Universal Time Not Working

You lost me. How can you have more than one SYSTEM clock in any operating
system?
