Don't know what rules you are referring to, but I live in a place where there

is no DST!

Ya' know, health is better than health care.

Then again, you have the alternative also. :)

Damn, it really is over, isn't it???

PS: I allready changed the clock twice to take care of the Springtime

(spring forward) change also.

That's called 'planning ahead'.

Amazingly enough, there have been very few posts in any of "my" MS

newsgroups since last Sunday. (And let's keep in mind that while MS NGs may

be Americentric, they are not USA-specific.)

Could it be because DST does not change until this Sunday? Or have I missed

This is the first year that DST ends the first weekend in November. It

used to end the last weekend in October.

 

So this past Sunday, many folks (mostly XP users) noticed DST ended

prematurely since they didn't have the correct patch (or there was a

misconfiguration).

I agree. Everyone either got it right back then or must wait till 2:00

AM to find out otherwise. We must all be patient, especially 98 Guy!

It was too early to see any complaints! Mine has worked nicely & gone

back an hour on today's boot, owing to the TZEdit run I did back then!

(Looks like I may ultimately have run Terhune's fix over that as well.)

Windows ME machine went back 2 hours in the last month. Must've hit the original

daylight point and hit the patch a week later.

Once the patch is instituted, the old date no longer is in effect.

However, if that old date passed before the patch was instituted, I

guess a machine could revert twice. Otherwise, the more likely cause of

losing two hours would be two operating systems each doing it one after

the other in a dual boot system. I know I say a warning about that

somewhere recently-- but can quite locate where!

Re: Wow - no Daylight Savings Time posts (!)

 

I got a clock error on my Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) laptop that

caused a Blue Screen of Death. I configured it so I would be able to see all

the errors because that is the way I like it. Anyway, Microsoft Windows

Vista searched for a solution and said I needed to update the BIOS so I

updated the BIOS and the computer seems okay now. It seems a drastic fix for

a time error. <grin>

This had to do with the DST time change? I guess it wanted your

permission to adjust the BIOS clock-- which, you know, good old Win98

will just go ahead & do it!

Re: Wow - no Daylight Savings Time posts (!)

 

Exactly. I cannot yet reccomend Vista to anyone and suggest users stick with

XP until at least the first Vista Service Pack is released. I know if I

posted this in a Vista newsgroup then many users would be up in arms about

how great Vista is. It is great in terms of security but still lacks in

backwards compatibility and general useability in terms of not having some

email not working fully and certain websites do not want to cooperate with

Vista fully. My favorite operating system remains 98 Second Edition and XP

after that and then Vista. I am looking forward to having my desktop up and

running again soon, hopefully and then installing Ubuntu Linux on it. I also

hope to try out Apple next year and see how well I like Mac OS 10.5, the new

Leopard operating system compared to Windows and Linux.

Yea. That's pretty nasty to get a BSOD over the time change! It worked

perfectly well for us in Win98-- or 98 Guy would have heard complaints

by now!

Re: Wow - no Daylight Savings Time posts (!)

 

I am not yet familiar with Apple or Linux but the plan is to understand them

better in the future. Linux sounds especially great with a lot of potential

and having Mozilla Firefox as your browser is nice since it works in Windows,

Linux and Apple. It is also fairly secure especially compared to Internet

Explorer. I tried Opera but I just did not like it as much as Firefox. My

dad is especially using Firefox to its full potential with plug-ins and

extensions. My focus right now is on my computer class and trying to

understand computers more. Sometimes, I think that you do not give yourself

enough credit, PCR because you are a great asset to the Windows 98 General

Newsgroup.

I have windows 98se

 

I use tzedit as well, no problems, went back 1 hour, when I turned

on the computer. Nov 4, 2007

 

The kernel team did a good job with the tzedit.

 

They probably had no idea this product would be widely used. It works

It is a dual boot machine. Win XP on a 2nd hard drive. Can't always boot up into

Win ME first after a time change. I've got Clock Rack on there to reset the

Yep. I congratulate them too. It worked very well for me too in Win98SE.

It still was a pain, though, to manually change every other clock I've

got in the house & hall-- which currently adds up to seven!

That explains it, then, because whichever boots first puts the change

not only into Windows, but into the BIOS clock too. The other picks up

the new hour from there-- but STILL will change it in the same direction

once more!
