My CPU show US Eastern Time correctly. However, in my .Net program, I use DateTime.Now shows the time is 4 hours behind (e.g. 7:55am in my CPU's right-bottom, 3:55am in my program). How can it be adjusted? Thanks.

Why dont you use System.DateTime.UtcNow, It will give you time in UTC, then you can convert it into the time zone of the user.

Current timezone is cached and sometimes hiccups like yours can occur. You have probably meddled with timezone or have manually adjusted time to +/- several hours.
You'll need to call System.Globalization.CultureInfo.ClearCachedData() method to clear cached value.

Problem found to be the conversion from Unix Time Stamp to dateTime
row["Date_Time"] = (UnixTimeStampToDateTime(Convert.ToDouble(eTime))).ToString();
Revised the code as
row["Date_Time"] = DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime();
Thanks.
