Default Daylight Savings Patch

Fred, read the instructions that you must follow immediately after you
run TZ_UP_9X at Gary's site.

those instructions in my own words:

1. after you click on the .exe file above, you must double click the
clock in your System Tray, which is on your lower right hand corner on
your Desktop.

2. you then will select a different time zone than your current one in
the Time Zone scroll bar, and then you will click Apply. So, for
instance, if you current Time Zone is (GMT -05:00) Eastern Time (US &
Canada), select a different one on the list and click Apply.

3. you now must reverse back to your current time zone and then click
Apply. To follow with the example above, if your time zone were
Eastern Time (US & Canada, you now switch to this time zone.

4. press OK, and you're done.

NB: the example above with the Eastern time zone is my actual time
zone. You may have a different time zone than mine.

I hope this helps.

I guess I thought when I ran the program it made all the changes. I didn't
understand I had to set the time manually.

I used TZ_UP_9X on two computers, Win98SE and Win98FE. I ran it
yesterday
on both.
Also tried again to day after setting the time correctly but nothing
changed.

What time zone are you in, Fred? It's important that your Time Zone be
properly set, including whether the current time is Std or DST, not

just
that the clock be correct. That way, people and other machines know

what
time it really is for your locale. Read my article at
http://grystmill.com/articles/tz_update.htm

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the START time for DST be

at
2:00 am on the second Sunday in March? Also, Nowhere I read the
month
of October. To quote from PCR's master post:

" United States
Beginning in the spring of 2007, the start dates and end dates for
daylight saving time (DST) will change to comply with the Energy
Policy Act of 2005. DST dates for 2007 in the United States and
Canada
will start three weeks earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in
March), and will end one week later (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday
in
November).
......EOQ............

b. Select the time that you want to start daylight saving

time.
In other words, select 2:00 AM.
c. In the Last Day box, click the number of the day,
the corresponding day of the week, and the month that you
want.
In other words, click Last, click Sunday, and then click
February.

See above quote.

If I'm wrong, please correct me as I do not want to confuse others
nor
myself.
