Have just done the upgrade from slimserver to squeezecenter 7(official

When I try and start squeezecenter, it shows on taskbar that
squeezecenter is starting and does nothing else. Left it half an hour

Tried the nightly update from the 8th and
My SC computer has moved its clock ahead one hour (as have my other
computers, my cell phone, etc) but for some reason the SBC still shows the

has its own internal clock rather than relying on the SC computer for the
time.
