We got an e-mail at work from the IT dept. They expect to have all problems with the new DST date to be cleared up in a maximum of 3 weeks.

I already updated my newer stuff, never thought about my old win 2k junk

sorry sir you need a $4000 patch from MS to continue running your 6 yr old server, or spend 10K on a new shiny SBS 2003 server ..... - All Thanks to our Congress Critters

Or you can go in and edit the registries yourself if you know what you're doing. :shrug:

If you're running 98 - well, um, uh.... Buy a new computer.

Here's a thought...turn off the automatic adjustment. When the new daylight savings time hits, manually change the time.

I know, it sounds ludicrous, but it just might work


I only charge $3k for this knowledge so that you save $1k

You're doing something wrong, you're using common sense. That's not allowed in Maryland.

Daylight savings is soooo pointless. I don't care if it's 11:00AM or 11:00PM, i know if it's light or dark.

Hey Microsoft bashers...

Here's something for your azz...

Time Zone Editor (tzedit.exe): This tool allows you to create and edit time zone entries for the Date/Time settings in Control Panel, especially for daylight saving time.

I agree 110% ....... M$ Sucks .......



But Remember Congress is trying to HELP US !!

This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday in March and end the first Sunday in November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to resume the 2005 Daylight Saving Time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete.

That doesn't matter
