Vista - Wrong time on boot

Everytime I boot into Vista the time is wrong.
I have a Mac Pro with Vista, XP, and OSX installed.
This does not happen with XP and OSX.

Did you adjust XP to use GMT instead of Local Time and have just
forgotten that? There has always been a problem dual-booting between
*nix systems and Windows systems because of the Local Time issue. On the
only machine where I dual-booted (SUSE and XP), I just left the machine
in "real" time and accepted that XP time would be off because I almost
never booted into XP. Maybe you need to set Vista to GMT and do your
Daylight Savings Time changes manually in Windows.

XP is set to Local Time which is EST.
I installed XP with Boot Camp.
I installed Vista separate, maybe that is it?
I do not want to use GMT.
There must be a way to correct this.

I had the same problem and after doing some research discovered that there
is a registry edit you can perform that will solve the problem. Here it is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
TimeZoneInformation
RealTimeIsUniversal
set the data value to 1

This fixed my problem and now the time is correct every time I boot into
Vista. However, I've noticed some applications (usually games) will cause
the clock in Vista to go haywire. I think this has something to do with the
difference in BIOS architecture between a Mac and a PC. Good luck.

RealTimeIsUniversal is not there.
What type of key do I create?

Create a new string value for "RealTimeIsUniversal" and set the data value
to 1. Restart your machine and the time should be correct.

Well, now to complicate matters, I am having the same problem, only I'm
running MAC OS X and Vista using parallels, so there is no rebooting going
on, both systems running at same time, although Vista is virtual. I have set
the Vista Clock to nist.gov (I'm EST) for its time and that was stable for a
while and then now its back to arbitrarily changing the date and time (in the
past) out of the blue. My batteries are always charged as I use A/C power
most of the time. If anyone has heard if MS has figured out if its a Vista
problem or something else, would love to know.
