I have so coworkers that are having difficulty with Windows losing the hour
that we just gained. It just changes back. My computer is fine.

How can I get it to stop changing back? I went into adjust date time and
unclicked the automatically change for daylight savings time. I know they
clicked apply. I know they changed their time. When they rebooted... they
time had changed back and the automatically update was checked again. What
is going on here? As I mentioned.... I am not having the same problem with
my computer. I changed mine once... and it is fine.

The problem computers need to have all Windows Updates applied to them.
Unless they are current (especially the DST fix) there will be issues with
time on the computers.

Thank you for the patch, but it doesn't work.
I get a warning message that says the patch cannot be applied because the
system is already fixed with it.
Wrong !
This IS a problem that many are asking about, as evidenced in all these
posts, but the problem doesn't seem to have any answer other than to
reinstall Windows....again.
Why would this be?
Maybe if Microsoft would see some of these problems and give us a real
answer, then more of us could correct our systems, instead of complaining
about them.
