I'm in UTC-8. D4 puts my system clock in UTC+8 even though the Time/Date
taskbar still shows me in the Pacific Daylight Time zone. "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ... QP Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:51:10 -1600 /QP Your post's date & time appear correctly but the above tells us that something's still wrong. What did you do? UTC -1600 would put you in Western Australia (e.g., Perth), but then the date would be Fri., 19 Sept 2008.

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. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951072/ 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. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User http://grystmill.com |

Screw D4. Uninstall it.
UTC and GMT are *not* always the same: During British Summer Time (BST), GMT = UTC +1 (or +0100). Therefore... PDT = UTC -7 (or -0700) = GMT -8 (or -0800) DaffyDŽ wrote: I'm in UTC-8.
