I also found it confusing. Gary's instructions are so good that they appear
to be complete. It's not intuitively obvious that once all of Gary's steps
have been completed, that the hour must still be manually changed. For
clarity I would suggest adding that as a final step.
I downloaded
http://grystmill.com/downloads/TZ_UP_9x.exe and ran it, then
followed Gary's instructions. My clock still showed the time as one hour
earlier than it should be, meaning it was still showing the time prior to
this new change to DST. I was expecting that the time would automatically
change to the correct new DST time, as it used to when Windows handled it.
It's not a problem for me to change it, but I think others will not realize
that there is still a further step required once Gary's steps have been
completed.
Thanks Gary for a helpful piece of work.

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

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.
