FYI: In case you have not heard the dates on which we change to Daylight Savings Time have changed. It used to be we went on Daylight Savings Time the first Sunday in April and off the last Sunday in October. That has changed as Daylight Savings Time has been extended to help conserve electricity. This year we go on Daylight Savings Time this Sunday, March 11th at 2AM and go off Daylight Savings Time the first Sunday in November. This change was legislated by Congress and was unplanned, so it has not been programmed into may computer systems and may affect computer, as follows:
1. If you are using Windows Vista and have automatic updates turned on you should get an automatic download that will fix this problem. In this case, do nothing. 2. If you are using Windows Vista and do not have automatic updates turned on, you must either manually update your operating system with Microsoft Vista updates or you must manually reset your time as instructed below. To update your computer manually go to: <http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/> <http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/> http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ 3. If you are using Windows XP in your office and are connected to a network, your system administrator may have loaded a Windows patch, in which case you do nothing. Check with your system administrator to see how this affects your corporate network and what your should do. 4. If you are using Windows XP at home (THIS APPLIES TO MOST PEOPLE) you will need to manually adjust your computer time. See the instructions below. 5. If you are using a MAC and are on OSX there is a patch you can download at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24267 to fix this problem. If you are on an older MAC you'll need to manually reset your time. So remember, this Saturday night or Sunday morning (March 11, 2007), set your clocks ahead one hour. If you are on Windows XP and need to manually reset your computer (MOST OF US), follow the instructions below. 1. Open your Control Panel (Start/Control Panel). 2. Double Click on Date and Time. This open the Date/Time dialog box. 3. Select the Time Zone tab and make sure the box that says "Automatically Adjust Clock for Daylight Savings Time" is NOT CHECKED. If it is checked, UNCHECK it by clicking on the box (if you leave it checked it will adjust your time again later, on the wrong day and mess up you time setting). 4. Now select the Date & Time tab. In the time box, set your clock ahead one hour. 5. Press the Apply button. That is all. Hope this was helpful.
