The Daylight Savings Time Change On Computers Using Windows

[tex]

Hi All,

Sorry, I didn't think about posting this sooner. If you need to download a patch from Microsoft to correct the way your computer handles Daylight Savings Time, because of the fact that the switch is being made three weeks earlier this year, you can do that by going to the link below, and following the instructions there, which will lead you to a page where you can select and download the correct patch for the particular operating system that you are using.

If you have any questions, or problems, please don't hesitate to ask.

Love,
Tex

Mine did it all by itself, I guess it's because it is new and has that vista...is that right? Love Oma

You are probably right, Oma.

Also, if you get automatic updates from Microsoft your computer should have already have the patch to fix the problem. Mine did.

Love, Shirley

You are both correct, of course. I just installed Vista on a laptop, and it comes with the correct DST information, (because it showed the correct time this morning, and I have not yet connected that computer to the internet, since doing a clean install of the 64 bit version of Vista, yesterday). One reason that I haven't connected, is because my old anti-virus program will not work with Vista, (nor will a lot of other programs). <sigh>

And yes, if you let your computer OS automatically update itself, that update should have been taken care of automatically, several weeks ago.

Love,
Tex
