Time difference between Mac & Windows

I have just successfully installed Windows XP SP2 using boot camp. But the clock in Mac and Windows are always different, for example, if i am running Mac and time is 4.00 p.m; then I restart in Windows, the time in Windows now is 8.00p.m. If then I changed time in Windows and restart again in Mac, the clock in Mac is 12.00p.m (4 hours late). I have tried several times but it stays the same. Is there anyone having the same problem as mine?

ah, 1 more small thing, when using Windows, which button in Mac keyboard is for printscreen? In the manual for Bootcamp, it is said that using fn+f11 but it doesn't work???

For Print Screen try using Fn-Shift-F11 combination. Also read *[_This Article_|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1220]*.

As far as your question on the Time difference between Windows and OSx, this is a known issue with Windows and OSx running on a mac. This has to do with how both Operating Systems set the time. One way to handle this is to run time preferences as soon as you log into OSx (after logging out of Windows). Its a pain nonetheless.
