Daylight Savings Time

[Dapper Dan]

I had completely forgot about DST when I reinstalled Windows ME a few months
back. Today I downloaded a copy of TZEDIT and went through the procedure of
resetting DST, including the last 2 instructions of selecting a different
time zone in DATE/TIME (Control Panel) and then reselecting the proper time
zone. For some reason, it's not catching.

Any ideas?

 

[Mike M]

Have you rebooted following making the change to the registry using
TZEdit?

As a matter of fact, yes Mike, I have rebooted several times since making
the change and I have just noticed that it doesn't matter what time zone I
designate, the clock remains at Eastern Standard time.

Does that provide a clue?

All I can suggest is that you try rolling your system back using system
restore to a checkpoint created prior to your first use of TZEdit and try
again.

Not really! <vbg> Thankfully our government, despite what are I feel its
many failings, haven't played around with the dates for what we call
"summer time" so it's not a problem I've had to deal with very often.

Thanks Mike

I restored to a point last month, reinstalled and edited TZedit but to no
avail. The initial change in Control Panel /Date- Time, I selected Pacific
Time but the clock did not change. I closed, reopened and correctly selected
Eastern Time Zone but again no change to the time.

I'll play with it over the next day but it's looking like I can't change the
time on my computer. Would this be a sign that the battery is going?

The battery, or rather its state, should only come in to play when the
computer is powered down and disconnected from the mains at which point
the battery is used to power the motherboard clock and CMOS memory.

Were you able to make changes to your clock last year, or was it the one
before, when the US first changed the dates? Which version of TZEdit are
you using? In the past I've used the copy downloadable that formed part
of the Windows 98 Resource Kit [KB247024 "Tools Included with the
Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=247024] which can be downloaded from
http://www.softshape.com/download/tzedit.zip. Extract the three files
from the zip to a folder on your desktop. then run tzedit and select your
time zone from the drop down box. Hit edit and it will show the offset
from GMT and the current start and stop dates for DST. Edit to match the
new ones for your location and click OK to save. Reboot.

A later version of TZEdit can be downloaded from Microsoft
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/8/a/58a208b7-7dc7-4bc7-8357-28e29cdac52f/tzedit.exe
but for some reason this version doesn't always seem to work with Win Me.

I downloaded this one, Mike, because my existing version was probably the
one you mention below and it didn't work for me either. Therefore I deleted
everything belonging to it, in order to try your alternative version.
Thanks. <H>.

I think "DST" should be outlawed.
It's sole purpose is to allow the golfers an extra hour of play in the
summer time, that's all, other reasons for it are plain fiction (hogwash).
How about it?

Well, I don't see where it 'saves' any daylight.....we still have the exact
same amount we would have had without the time change. And, uh, Harry.....I
don't think Ben Franklin played golf.
Heirloom, old and it ought to be 'daylight shifting
time'

Don't matter, H, he tried to please them and just because his name is behind
it, doesn't mean it's beneficial, which I don't think it is. There are
states and places, where it isn't practiced. Daylight shouldn't be
"shifted", all it does is to upset one's bio-rythm. Think again!........

It actually is beneficial, if you happen to die between the Spring and the
Fall you gain an extra hour in your life. (Your death will occur one hour
later than it would have occurred on Standard Tim.)

If it's not the battery then it might be the version of TZedit. I'm using
version 1.0.1.0 That might be the way to go Mike. I'll download another
version and see if it works.

It was only last year that we were forced to handle this and I don't recall
having any problem at all.

Sheesh, Harry!.....get another cup of coffee and a valium. I didn't say I
agreed with it!....I don't like it either. There are some benefits to it,
as well as drawbacks.....like having to change all my d*mn clocks! Ben only
came up with the idea, the modern day method wan't employed until 1907, I
forget that cat's name....not important. You could always move to whereever
it is in Arizona that doesn't adhere to DST, or any of the other places in
the U.S. Better yet, you could retire and not pay any attention to it, like
me......for half the year all my clocks are right, the other half I don't
give a crap.

My dear Heirloom,
there isn't any valium nor any other medication near me and no overdose on
caffeine either. Complacency is hard to overcome, I know and most of us seem
to be stuck in it, no matter what the subject.
It's good to hear you are loving life also.
Keep it up...

Harry, who is not quite as complacent (lol).

I don't play golf, but what's wrong with that? I like DST, I like the
longer daylight hours during the summer time. I like having extra time
to do yard work or ride my bike or just have a cold drink and loaf
around. I enjoy that extra hour of daylight after work hours.

Just had another 35 cm. of snow......and with only 35 feet of frontage,
taken up mostly by a double driveway, you should see the height of the
snowbanks!! I took a picture earlier, but Ron was doing a *rude thing*
so can't post it, lol.

Besides, I will get one tomorrow when it is sunny.
