IIRC, the issue was addressed.
One issue was the need to shut down the computer to ensure the registry
changes took effect on 98 and NT [unlike other newer OSs that might refresh
hives occasionally or automatically] but then if one installs much if
anything that should be a no-brainer, no shutdown - no proper registry
changes and potential loss due to some prewritten registry loss or other
issue. I would do this shutdown and restart for either suggested fix and
EVERY installation regardless of no supposed need. Its always better to be
safe than sorry. We should all realize by now, how effective others claims
are,; one need only think of how many times have we had to override defaults
or set program settings for them to work in our individual and unique
systems.

As for the need to change timezones back and forth: that, to me, seems it
would be taken care of during the time period from now til the actual change
period. The registry will/should have been updated everywhere [swap and
otherwise] due to length of time involved; however, if INSTANT verification
is needed, or if waiting until the "last minute" or after the change has
taken effect, then it appears, the timezone changeovers would be needed, as
these would force instant change, again with necessary shutdowns and
restarts.

But then Gary would be the one to actually confirm exactly what his
modification requires, and what those who tested it reported. Just as the
one on MGDX would have to be verified by the users of that particular fix.

I open this discussion again for those verifications of either or other
fixes.
