Guest Snapper Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I live in eastern Australia. On the weekend daylight savings started. Unfortunately I think that Windows XP thinks that it doesn't start until the last weekend in October. Just wondering if there's a fix for this or do I have to simply put up with it til the end of the month?
Guest John Waller Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Re: Daylight Savings Problem Are your XP patches fully up-to-date? See KB 951072: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951072/ -- Regards John Waller
Guest Ronaldo Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Re: Daylight Savings Problem The Time Windows Server doesn't seem to be so reliable anymore or WXP has trouble synchronizing with it... But you can synchronize your system clock with another time server... there are plenty to choose from. There are two ways you can sync your clock with an atomic time server: 1.- Through a Registry edition; Go to Start\Run\and type; "regedit" (no quotes) and Enter... go to the "Servers" key and add a new string value; right click on the right side panel of "servers" and create a new REG_SZ value and name it as the next number in the string values list... next double click on the new value and edit the data with the atomic clock server url you choose from the link. and to finish edit the (default) value data with the value number you've just added. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers or 2.- by way of the Control Panel\Date & Time\Internet Time and copy & paste the time server url in the "Servers" dropdown window and click on Update now, Apply & Accept. You can use any url of the servers available in the "tf.nist" link below, or you can use a local time server. Set Your Computer Clock Via the Internet NIST Internet Time Service (ITS) http://tf.nist.gov/service/its.htm http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi Another option is to install the software in the link to handle the clock sinchonization. http://www.worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock/ ---------------------------------- "Snapper" <snapper1@y7mail.com.invalid> escribió en el mensaje news:8aeje45fnuj0n8o752a2ouoptfh1q3unti@yarwho.com... >I live in eastern Australia.
