the DST2007 patch they issued for XP worked this morning, but the same DST
patch issued for PocketPC's (Windows Mobile) did not

Vista is reported, by MS, to have the new DST values incorporated. My Vista
machine updated correctly, no problem.

yes that is true, it is SUPPOSED to have ALL the dst values, but
according to many people here in our province, the same thing is
happening to them as well, like I said, vista is reporting for our
time zone that dst is on april 1st but of course, we know thats wrong,
it looks like the programming was not done right for our zone, its
just not picking it up for some reason?!?!? oh my, wonder if I can use
the xp patch?!?

Yes, after looking at the number of places in the world that do not use DST,
and the number of places that do use it but decided to stay with the
original dates, it is complicated. I can believe that MS got one (or more
wrong). Additionally, I can believe that some locals were very late in
reporting their intentions to adopt or bypass the new times.

Anyway... there is a way that virtually anyone can set this manually. And it
is pretty easy.

Download TZEDIT.EXE from MS. You can run it and it will allow you to
manually set the new values using a very good GUI.

Get it from MS, here...

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...52f/tzedit.exe

It's pretty slick. You can also use this tool on any system already upgraded
to confirm the new values are in place.

Hi All:
In anticipation of the problems with re-activating Vista due to
daylight savings time changes, hundreds of thousands of people have just
moved to Arizona where there is no daylight savings time! (A true case of
"out of the frying pan and into the fire!")

Just thought I'd mention that I keep 2 additional clocks (Eastern & Central)
on the Sidebar and they both updated correctly.

Same here...WinXP PCs here (Central time zone, US and Canada) updated for DST
correctly.

Vista booted showing a time one hour *later* than DST!! I went in and did
an Internet time synchronziation, which corrected the time. What the heck??
