Guest O.J. Newman Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Hello: Earlier this week, I downloaded and installed an update from MS to account for the new Daylight Savings Time end date for my Win XP SP2 PC. However, does MS provide such an update for Win ME, now that it is out of support? How can one have Win ME automatically adjust for the new Daylight Savings Time start and end dates? Has anyone come up with a 3rd-party update? Thanks in advance. O.J.

It doesn't. That is the meaning of "out of support". > How can one have Win ME automatically adjust for the new Daylight > Savings Time start and end dates? > > Has anyone come up with a 3rd-party update? There is no need, you can use the freely available tool that Microsoft has provided for the last ten years or so, this is called TZEdit. You can download a copy of TZEdit from http://www.softshape.com/download/tzedit.zip. Extract the three files from the zip to a folder on your desktop. then run tzedit and select your time zone from the drop down box. Hit edit and it will show the offset from GMT and the current start and stop dates/days for DST. Edit to match the new ones for your location and click OK to save. You must reboot after you have changed the settings for them to take effect. Ah, the Microsoft download for TZEdit is http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/8/a/58a208b7-7dc7-4bc7-8357-28e29cdac52f/tzedit.exe -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com
