| These are your original headers as I see them:
|
| ================================================== ==========
| Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:40:05 -1600
| ================================================== ==========
|
| Your time zone appears to be set for GMT-16 hours (?)
| whereas Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is GMT-7 (USA & Canada).
|
| Here are the headers from my email sent moments ago:

| You still have a problem. What Time Zone do you see when you
| double-click the clock in the Systray?

|
|
| Which means your clock should read UTC -7. Because we're still on
| Daylight
| time. See my reply to Franc, at 2:27 Pacific Daylight Time, for a
| fix. Or just go to my site and follow the trail.

| I did more fiddling around with TZ Edit and D4 and my system
| clock is
| now
| synch'd with my watch. Hopefully the headers for this message
| should be accurate.
|
| Looks fine to me. But it bothers me that using my update file didn't
| fix the issue immediately, or didn't you try it without D4 in the
| mix? Without D4 being involved, the updater should have fixed the
| issue and I'd be very interested to know if that wasn't the case. I
| don't know of any mechanism in Win98 that would change that Registry
| key or its sub-keys.
|
| Turns out that the most recent update to the TZ info in WinXP and
| above was released a month ago.

| I'll be updating my files tomorrow, Sunday, but don't be surprised
| if it's Monday or even Tuesday before I upload everything. The very
| first and only monitor I ever bought for myself was a ViewSonic
| A75s, a CRT with "short depth" dimensions. Spent the better part of
| its life powered up and serving as my primary monitor. More recently
| it's been attached to whatever machine happens to need it, usually
| my test machine. Well, when I cranked it up this morning it started
| doing a snap, crackle, pop like it wanted to reincarnate as an arc
| welder, so I've got to drag a used monitor out of the shed tomorrow.
| Kinda sad, actually. that monitor had great color. IIRC, there's not
| much left in the shed that will work decently enough, or be "short"
| enough to fit on my desk. Gotta see if any of my "clients" have any
| flat panels that need to be "recycled". Might have to buy a new one.
| That's revolting.

| Forgot to ask more about TZ Edit. Does it run in the background,
| like D4,
| or only when I click the executable? I'm still not sure how it works.
| Do I need D4 if TZ Edit is already on my computer? Or does your
| registry fix also negate the need for a time synchonization program?

I think I STILL see a problem somewhere, DaffyD®, looking at your last
post to Terhune...!...

Those don't match by a lot! Did you write it online & post it
immediately or wait a day? (But I doubt that should matter.) Although it
looks worse than a time zone problem, what are you seeing when you run
TZEdit? Does it show the 2007 implementation...?...

.....Quote..........
The 2006 implementation is as follows:
• Daylight saving time starts at 02:00 A.M. on April 2, 2006.
• Daylight saving time ends at 02:00 A.M. on October 29, 2006.

The 2007 implementation is as follows:
• Daylight saving time starts at 02:00 A.M. on March 11, 2007.
• Daylight saving time ends at 02:00 A.M. on November 4, 2007
