The DST checkbox seems to be missing from my Time Zone tab. On the Date & Time tab, the time zone shows as U.S. Mountain Standard Time. I recently upgraded from XP-Home (SP2) to XP-Pro (SP2). This issue did not exist in my Home version. Any ideas on how I go about "fixing" this--other than manually changing the time?
View 3 RepliesWe have about 100 computers on our network. I had installed late last year the "How to configure daylight saving time for Microsoft Windows operating systems" on our domain. This morning, about 90% of the systems were updated correctly. I'm not sure what the issue is that not all systems updated with the correct time. I have gone and rebooted a couple of the systems and had the user log back in, but they still have the wrong time. I know I can go in manually as an admin and update the time, but I was hoping there was a more efficient way.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIf I'm not mistaken, daylight savings time beginning and ending times will be changed this year. Am I to assume that we only have to make changes on Servers of which the clients get their time from? Outside of that, other systems that aren't server dependent such as UPS machines and such, will need the time to be changed manually?Just curious if anyone has already started to work on this.
View 7 Replies View RelatedTwice a year, XP displays a dialog box telling the user that it's changed the time due to daylight savings time.I want to keep this dialog box from popping up, but I can't find a way to do it.I understand that I could turn off the automatic adjustment,and thus have the dialog not appear.But I want the adjustment just not the dialog box.So does anyone know of a mystery registry key or function to help me? I've been throught technet & msdn etc.
View 8 Replies View RelatedSince Congress passed the New Daylight Savings Time effective this year, computers without Windows XP or updates or without Vista will not reset its time correctly this year (or future years)--it will be 3 weeks late in the spring since they are starting DST three weeks early and one week early in the fall. So for Windows 2000 and NT
View 14 Replies View Relatedi was going to wait and see what they did at work about the DST problem and then apply a similar concept at home.They supposedly patched XP (at work)for the new dates for DST but then they went and changed all the times in my Outlook Calendar,at least in the two extended date intervals ,by 1 hour. I really don't understand the last part.If I have an appointment at 10:00, it still is at 10:00 DST not withstanding, at least I think so Shouldn't Outlook match the appt time with whatever time the system clock is displaying and work accordingly?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOk, I've got 5 XP pro sp2 machines, and 1 Server 2003 Small Business Edition. I downloaded update # 931836 which Microsofts web site said would correct the issue. I burned the file to a disc and proceeded to each station to run the update. On the XP pro sp2 machines windows told me the update I was trying to install was canceled because the current time zone update on the machine was more current. On the Small Business Server I get an error that reads,"Update.ine file is invalid and the installation quits. Is it possible that the critical updates that my machines automatically install have already taken care of this issue and I just need to let it go?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy system clock on my XP system will not stay advanced 1 hour for Daylight Savings Time. After about 1 hour it will jump back to one hour earlier.It should have changed automatically for DST since I had the box checked, but it didn't, so I thought it odd I had to change it manually for DST. But it won't stay changed, it keeps jumping back an hour after about an hour's time.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI had the box checked on the computers on my network to automatically go to daylight savings time. Because of a particular application, I decided that I didn't want to automatically switch back to standard time at 2:00 AM. I would do it manually later.So I unchecked the box on the server and all of my PCs on the 28th. When I got ready to make the manual change around 5:00 AM on the 29th, they were all already on standard time. Does this mean that the box only affects going to daylight savings time and that it will always revert to standard time?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have Windows XP Pro, SP2.I was wondering what affect the new daylight savings time start/stop dates will have on Windows and if there is something I should do. Has this been addressed by an update? Somebody please tell me if this has already been addressed and if not is there anything I should do?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince Windows has been released several time zone changes have occurred, and beginning this coming year the Daylight Saving Time period will change in the US. Specifically, DST will start three weeks earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November). Thus, Microsoft is releasing an update to address changes that have or will take place in several countries. The update will be delivered automatically to Windows XP SP2 users starting December 12th (or can be downloaded now by clicking here) and will be included in Windows Vista.

Attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the Original CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
So I enter the cd rom and press 'r' for repair, I choose C:windows, however before it can begin to repair it asks me for an 'Administration Password' which I have no idea of after many attempts.
I do not want to have to format the pc since I have some very important files on it. Any help is appreciated.
