We are using Dell systems, Vista Business.
All our main and field offices are in California.

Our computer clock is one hour behind this morning.
The "Internet Time" server is time.windows.com.

California has changed their summer day light saving time start and stop in
different months.

What should we do to disable the Vista day light saving time changes?

There is a tickbox for 'Automatically adjust clock for DST' within the
'Change Time Zone' option of the Date and Time setup which you could
untick.

Carey, thanks.
I heard about the patches too.
Can I just simply disable the day light saving time clock change at all?

Hi Phil,

There are actually 2 time zones that use GMT (UTC), but only one of these
use DST during the summer months (this being Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon,
London). If you switch to the other zone (Casablanca, Monrovia, Reykjavik),
you should find that the problem disappears and your second clock should
display the true GMT (UTC) time.
