I think I've got a quick fix for you. After seeing your reply, I
poked around inside of VirtualBox and it looks like the virtual
machines are set to use UTC time by default. Since Windows uses local
time, you should be able to go into the settings of that VM in the
System tab and uncheck the box for UTC time to solve it. Here's
hoping, anyway.
