LifeNRA Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Important message regarding new Daylight Saving Time change! Daylight saving time (DST) will start three weeks earlier this year, March 11, 2:00 a.m., and one week later, November 4, 2:00 a.m., due to the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005. Unfortunately, most computers have been programmed for DST change to occur on the first Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October. Remember to check your home PC as well as any devices such as timers, clock radios, VCRs, etc. that may have an automatic adjustment for DST. If the automatic adjustment cannot be turned off, you will need to change them again on April 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Re: Daylight Savings Notice!!! Must Read!!! A lot of people are making a big stink about it. It is just a little bit of extra work Or none at all for some.. As for our computers you can easily turn the setting off for it to not automaticly adjust so no big deal there either.

Think I may just let everything be off an hour for a few days, get tired of resetting all the clocks, but then again I am sure our wonderful power company will have the electric flicker off a time or two between then .

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, it's really no big deal for home computers. But work systems that put a date/time stamp on things need to be updated before the change this weekend. If you're running Windows, go to Microsoft's Windows Update page and download all of the critical updates. Or, you can go to Microsoft's website and search for TZEdit.exe (Time Zone Editor) and perform the change manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
