Time/Date problems VM Fusion Boot Camp - Vista SP1

[JeanR]

Hi, I have a Macbook running Leopard (10.5.2) and Windows Vista (32 bit) running in my Boot Camp partition. I use Fusion to access my Vista in Boot Camp partition, and when not using it I minimise it to the dock rather than power off, so that I don't need to reboot it each time I want to use it. However, when I minimise to the dock and then maximise it later to access Windows programs, Vista has lost time! The time is incorrect, and if I leave it overnight also the date. I am using Vista SP1, latest version of Boot Camp (downloaded and installed today) and Fusion 1.1.2. Any ideas? Thanks

Have a look at the attached VMware Tools Properties.png as it shows the default setting of the Time sync.... is not checked.

Thank you - the time sync check box was unticked - I have now ticked it, and hope this solves the problem! Many thanks for a quick response!
