Guest O.J. Newman Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Re: Daylight Savings Time Hello: I seem to recall reading about what Ben is saying. Even after the changes are made to the registry time zone entries, the changes only "catch" when the date and time crosses either the spring or fall DST boundaries. So you need to follow the procedure as outlined by Ben to test proper operation of your time zone registry entries. O.J.

Guest Dapper Dan Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Re: Daylight Savings Time This may be a perfect example of a hijacked thread!!! The problem is that the time wouldn't change; it appeared to be still operating under Eastern Standard Time, instead of Eastern Daylight Savings Time. However, I just tried your suggestion and indeed the change does take effect as scheduled. It's obvious I have a problem with the date/time program. If I go and change the time zone from Eastern to Pacific, the time doesn't change. I don't think it's a big issue because there should be no reason to change times except for DST. Thanks for the feedback Ben. At least it confirmed that TXedit was not the issue. Dan "Ben Myers" <benjmyers@mindR-e-m-o-v-Espring.com> wrote in message news:%23USkr1zgIHA.484@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

What a 'bull' and I didn't do any 'bitching', that suits you much better. If you like it, fine, but that doesn't mean I also have to.

Well this is what you said: "I think "DST" should be outlawed. It's sole purpose is to allow the golfers an extra hour of play in the summer time, that's all, other reasons for it are plain fiction (hogwash)." That certainly sounds like bitching and sour grapes to me! It sounds like you feel that people having fun physical activities is a bad thing! Maybe instead of enjoying outdoor fun after supper people should just sit on their fat fannies! Then your apparently "very important" reason: "...all it does is to upset one's bio-rythm". Well gee, aren't you retired? What the heck does it matter what the time on the clock reads? You can go to bed or get up at whatever time you want so I can't see why *your* bio-rythm should qualify as a "very important" reason to abandon DST. Maybe you should buy very heavy light impenetrable curtains and draw them all shut tight an hour early and leave the outdoor fun for others! John

But I don't mind changing them. Ron is *clock-challenged*, so I end up doing it. In fact, if I added them up, I have way more than you, but when you are retired, old man.....it gives you a whole new thing to do twice a year, lol. I laughed today......I had to replace my 11 year old Jetta battery and of course that mucked up the theft prevention stuff for my radio/cdplayer. I phoned the dealer and he walked me thru it.....once I found the damn code for it. I had TWO chances to get it right......then it would cost me $50 for the dealer to do it. Got it in ONE!! Yay.....superbrain strikes again. The dealer says the thieves leave VW alone because they can't sell the ripped out radios without that code. That was my fun for the day. Doesn't take much to amuse (or scare) me.
