You can test if your system is updated for this by going to:

The Microsoft updates, assuming you are doing them, resolve the DST
issue for XP SP2, Server2003 and Vista, but earlier OS's are more
difficult to update. But there is a program that you can run on W2K
(and a different one for W98/ME) you can read about here:
http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2007/01/unofficial-windows-2000-daylight.html
They have a patch also for W98/ME.
I have run the updates from Intelliadmin on a W2K machine and a Win98
machine and they appear to have worked. After running the updater you
have to click on the time (lower right hand corner) and go to the time
zone section and click on OK to get it to take effect. At least that is
what it seemed to require on Win98.
Do this at your own risk!
