| 758989 | 2009-03-24 07:08:00 | Or something. Since, it looks like the new dates are 5th April 2009 (First Sunday in April, when DST ends), and 27th Sept 2009 (Last Sunday in September, when it begins). Because, if I update the time on the taskbar (with a time server), it goes back an hour. So, it looks like MS havent made or issued an updated DST patch. And if I run this (support.microsoft.com) it tells me the same thing (the old start and end date, first Sunday in Oct - start, and 3rd Sunday in March it ends ) It gets its info from the registry. And you can change it with this tool. I though KB955839 was the update, but its already installed. |

| 758991 | 2009-03-24 07:24:00 | Hmm thought I found it (support.microsoft.com) but it says its installed already as well I'll just change it with this tzedit tool by MS |

| 758992 | 2009-03-24 07:32:00 | I've got a computer at work that does the same thing. It hadn't been patched for a while, so I installed SP3 & left it running windows update when I left today. I'll see if it picked up whatever update it needs when I get in tomorrow. The reception computers tend to be a bit neglected & the workshop machines get a bit too much attention:xmouth: | Greven (91) | ||
| 758993 | 2009-03-24 07:39:00 | Hmm ok. Good to know I'm not the only one with this prob. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 758994 | 2009-03-24 08:34:00 | Strange, 2 of the computers here had the wrong info in the registry, 1 had the right info..Dont know how. So exported the keys from the right one, and ran them on this and the other PC. That fixed it |

| 758995 | 2009-03-24 19:33:00 | It hadn't been patched for a while, so I installed SP3 & left it running windows update when I left today. AFAIK, the DST patch isn't in SP3 and if you try to install it afterward you get an error saying a later version of the service pack has been installed. I just manually changed the clock back & it seems to be ok. |

| 758996 | 2009-03-24 21:43:00 | Interestingly, it seems that TelstraClear's cable TV boxes have the same problem... :) They think that each show starts an hour before it does - it still actually screens at the right time though, just the times are wrong. |

| 758997 | 2009-03-25 05:34:00 | I just told windows update to install all the recommended post SP3 patches & that fixed the problem. IF I have a slow day & another computer with that problem, I might find out what patch fixes it. | Greven (91) | ||
