588015 2007-09-23 08:30:00 Rob, with your reg hack work for WinXP ?
From your post, I am not sure if your reg hack applies to this statement: "this is all fine but what about if you dont run XP or vista."

I ask because I do not have SP2 (and will not install it). I went to the Windows Update page but the options for updates did not include DST changes.

yes my code will run on XP, 99% of XP users should have received to update from MS automagicly a few weeks ago.

588016 2007-09-23 10:40:00 I have not looked at Robsonde's fix but the Timezone Edit method give at - [URL="www.microsoft.com is much quicker and easier to use than the M$ Registry modification one referred to by Speedy. Robin S_ (86)

Robin, that page gives this: "We’re sorry, but we were unable to service your request. You may wish to choose from the links below for information about Microsoft products and services."

588018 2007-09-23 19:14:00 Speedy - thanks. Dunno if it installed or not - it said it needs SP2 to apply the hotfix but something did download and extract so I guess I could temporarily change my pc's clock-date setting and see what happens....?

That MS page with registry changes is very detailed and looks too complicated for me to digest now so I'll try Rob's patch if needed.

Thanks Rob. It downloaded, unzipped and looks to have installed OK. :thumbs:

588020 2007-09-24 12:29:00 Morpheus - pleased to see you have a fix.

When I tried to paste the link into my last post using the create link button it got a bit garbaged - the first URL in the link command got changed to lower case, but when I went to edit the post it still showed as upper case so I couldn't change it. I will try again.

588021 2007-09-25 00:07:00 and infomation colected from another thread.....

cellphones
vodafone cellphones may be affected read more at the link
www.vodafone.co.nz

it is expected that telecom phones will not be affected as they get time from the network, as long as the telecom servers are on the new time then you should be good.

other household stuff that may be affected includeds......

some clocks that automaticly change for daylight savings may get it wrong.

SKY decoders should pickup time from SKY.

a good number of VCR's may need a maunal change.

588023 2007-09-26 04:13:00 I believe an OS X update 10.4.11 will have the changes. Probably they forgot about 10.3. I have no idea what is happening with apps like Entourage etc.

Entourage 11.3.7 includes new DST rules.
