If all else fails, you can disable automatic timezone updates with the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet REG_DWORD (1 = disable daylight-savings adjustment, 0 or not set = enable adjustment) Not sure if third party software can keep you in the right zone then, but I'd imagine so. Really though the correct fix is to upgrade to Windows 7. It's stable, works well, and will be supported for years to come; though if you want long term stability/updates you're better off looking into Linux systems.
