Unofficial Time Zones Update (Testers wanted)
OK, I think it's mostly finished. All I need are a few guinea pigs, web page
proofers, etc. The files I am offering work for ALL legacy Windows systems, 95 through 2000 (XP and 2003 are the only ones MS provides updates for, and the info is already in Vista.) The only system I haven't tested yet is NT4. If anyone has one they're willing to test it on, I'd sure appreciate it. Otherwise, it will be another several days before I can dig out my copy of that and load it into a VPC. Might as well start at the beginning: http://www.grystmill.com Once I'm satisfied, I'll be broadcasting the news to all MS public newsgroups. Heck, I bet even most XP users don't know they need it, and it isn't installed by Automatic Updates or suggested by using Express option at Windows Updates. Only the Custom option. Seems real stupid to me, but the logic MS uses to handle Updates often escapes me. Like making IE7 a Recommended Update, but then having Automatic Updates install it. Dumb, dumb, dumb! PLEASE!! If you're not reasonably adept at using Windows, backing up Registries, restoring same, etc., DON'T try these Unofficial Updates until others have proven them out. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User |

Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User Yep, all the security updates load automatically in XP if windows update is left at default settings. And, for some reason, the recent IE 7.0 is considered same category. There is some protection added as ZA Pro doesn't hardly see personal headers anymore with IE 7 running vs IE 6. However IE 7 did create some problems here, so I uninstalled (yes, there's an uninstall feature). Apparently, I'm not the only one with problems with IE 7 per windowsxp.general newsgroup. Wish I could help with the Time Zone update in NT 4.0 Last time ran NT 4.0 w/SP4 was 3 years ago. -- Jonny |

I will have to bite the bullet and install XP w/IE7 on a VPC (now that I can
do that), just like I'll have to install Vista and XP in default configurations, just so I can figure out WTF people are talking about, and how to get them to where they need to be. IE7 uninstall... Not so sure it works perfectly. I've had a couple of clients uninstall it and it seems to have broken a couple of things. Not certain yet, have to follow up with them this week that's coming. Might be totally unrelated, purely coincidental issues. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User "Jonny" wrote in message ... "Gary S. Terhune" wrote in message ... OK, I think it's mostly finished.

Okay, though you said code wasn't important [had a couple minutes to spare]:
