Time

I always thought that computers were suppose to reset them selves when
daylight savings time came around. I had to set mine maually this morning. Is
there some setting I am missing? I am at Central time in North America where
we observe daylight savings time. Please help me.

Can't help you directly, Allan - my computer DID change the time to DST, but it
did not show the message which it used to do, saying that the computer had
adjusted the time, and please check it.

Could any of the automatic updates to Win XP have been related to the future
change in dates of time changes, and at the same time changed the fact that
there's no more message?

Who knows the mind of Bill Gates!!!

Perhaps our MVP's will have an answer.

On the Time Zone tab there is a box that asks 'automatically adjust clock
for daylight savings time'. That needs to be check in order for the
computer to automatically change the time.

I didn't see the new clock settings message either. But if you want to see
it...

Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...

rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl,,/m

I didn't get that message either on the 2 XP machines here but it did show
on the WinME machine, so I assume it's one of the things XP doesn't show

Very interesting but my opinion is, I wish they would just leave the times
alone. I thought it originally started to help the farmers during World
War 2 so why they need to carry it on now I don't know g

I think Daylight Saving Time is dumb. But some claim that it saves energy.

As one MVP explained how his Father explained it: It's like cutting a strip
off one end of a rug and sewing it onto the other end to make it longer. Or
something like that. ;-)

A quote from that page states "A poll done by the U.S. Department of
Transportation indicated that Americans liked Daylight Saving Time because
"there is more light in the evenings / can do more in the evenings."

If we *really* believed that it's a good thing to do for that reason, we
would have one hour of DST in the summer, and *two* hours in the winter. We
have shorter days in the winter, and that's when we need more daily savings
time.

as far as the UK is concerned (the first to mess around with time) you are
correct, the problem now is that 'people' like BST its Greenwich MeanTime
that would be abolished.

I thought that when I was a school kid, but not anymore, Ken. Us old guys
go to bed early, doncha know.

would have one hour of DST in the summer, and *two* hours in the winter.

I already have to go to work in the dark in the winter. No matter what they
do, I'll probably still be in the dark. ;-)
