I'm in Canada, on the wet coast. We've adopted the new daylight savings time
regime along with the US. But my computer (XP Home SP2) keeps resetting to
the old time. The computer keeps setting the clock an hour back for the
change over when the change over doesn't happen for a while. I accessed an
article in the KB at Microsoft.com but that wouldn't install. It said that I
had a newer version of the file. Can anyone help me?

Ever notice that nobody "rushes" in "Rush Hour?"

update your version of Windows, it fixed the problem before DST
went into effect this spring. if you can't get the fix from MS,
Google is your best friend.

If your BIOS setup has a 'use daylight' setting, I would try turning it off.

Thanks for your reply. My Windows is fully updated. I don't understand,
sorry. And what do you mean about the fix from Google? I thought the fix had
to come from Microsoft?

No Peter. I call it the wet coast. <grin>
It has rained now for a week....

doesn't include the DST fix?
