Anyone had experience with the patch from:

http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm#TZU

That is:

Q931836.exe

Thanks!

I have a number of 98 systems and I don't want to do them
manually if I can avoid it.

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].

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.


Debatable though, but we respect Terhune soo..

Those are my sentiments too. It's Colorado who first discovered the mdgx
site, & it's up to him to get bloody with Terhune-- not us!


Well, I'm not waiting - I'm done with it already. I did it months ago,
and as far as I'm concerned, I'm through, and moving on to more pressing
things - like using this new "USB 2.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure" for a
perfect partition copy backup of the boot drive (including ALL the directory
and file dates!), and, what a joy it is, compared to the previous, tedious,
procedure, of having to manually swap in/out the backup IDE hard drive each
time!
