Daylight Savings Time Problem
Several of the pc's at my office still show the incorrect time after the
daylight savings time change. I have checked all to ensure that the most recent DST updates have been applied and they have. If I manually change them, they revert back to the incorrect time within an hour. The only way to keep them correct is by un-checking the "automatically adjust for daylight savings" option. Again, this is only happening on select pc's - others are just fine and as I said, all have the necessary DST updates from Microsoft. Thanks. |

Probably an idea you have already tried but, have you selected the proper
time zone? "cpme" wrote: Several of the pc's at my office still show the incorrect time after the daylight savings time change.

Daylight Savings Time Problem
I'll bet that if you wait three weeks till the previous Daylight Savings
Time change was in effect things will be just fine. I say that because I have one program that does not know about or accept the 'new' time changes but will revert when the previous date for the time changes gets here. Same as the DVD player/video recorder conncted to my TV. "cpme" wrote in message ... Several of the pc's at my office still show the incorrect time after the daylight savings time change.

Daylight Savings Time Problem
Yes. I'm in the central time zone and I've found that if I change the
setting to the mountain time zone, the time will adjust back one hour - thus display correctly. But that's obviously not a fix, just a work-around that will have to be altered come november. I've also changed the time in the system BIOS but that does no good; it just reverts back to the incorrect time ten seconds after start-up. Thanks.

A little utility called tzedit.exe from Microsoft allows changing the
DST start/stop dates in the clock utility.

Thanks for the reply. I discovered this update as well but when I try to
install it, it tells me that a newever version of this update is already installed on the computer. As I said, all of the necessary updates (KBxxxxxx) are installed on the computers. I've even gone so far as to compare every update from my pc (which displays the correct time without a problem) with the updates that are on the pc's that aren't working correctly - and each of them have the same updates. So I can rule out a missing update as the culprit. Very strange and very frustrating. Thanks.

You probably had something change the "Time ZONE" setting. There is a tab
with a dropbox for that in the clock. Doubleclick it in the Notification area. -- Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button.
