| | | That happens to be an update to a TZ "fix" that was discussed
| | | in this forum via several threads.
| | | To combat, or rather address other potential aspects which may
| | | be related [or not] Gary Terhune MVP created [or is
| | | modifying/creating] a TZ file for all versions of Windows, with
| | | the various issues related to other areas of the world [if I
| | | remember correctly].
| | |
| | |http://www.grystmill.com/articles/tz_update.htm
| |
| | Subsequently, Terhune agreed with John John in another thread that
| | steps (g) though (j) [below] would also have to be done after
| | running his .reg, but obviously not steps (a) through (h). Looks
| | like the one from...http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm#TZU
| | ...does it's own (g) through (j), though. Terhune had an
| | objection to that one, though, for another reason.
| |
| | Where are these conversations? I cannot find them when I search
| | the news groups.
| |
| | I did find one where you pointed out that (g) though (j) should be
| | run, but no reply from Terhune.
|

| ...
| ......Quote...........
| Thank you. Forgot to add that info to the instructions.
| ......EOQ..............
| ...., when John John brought up the issue.
|
| | I tested the grystmill patch without running steps (g) through (j)
| | and it worked. Tested on 98SE by moving the time forward and
| | letting it pass through 2 AM on March 11, 2007.
|
| But did you run the mdgx.com patch too? That one WILL auto-update the
| other Registry key from what I can determine reading the site...
|
| No, I did not run the mdgx patch.

That's interesting! I see Terhune has stated he will test the issue. Can
you post the contents of your two keys. Here are mine for "Eastern"...

Too bad I didn't think to check the second one BEFORE doing the
Date/Time Properties switch forth/back!

Do you see how these correspond to each other? It's possible the second
has an important use other than allowing the time change to occur on the
appropriate date. I wonder too whether something else could have done
the time change for you when you pushed ahead-- something like NistTime,
for instance? Were you online when you did it?
