Time still says it's 9:30...it's 10:30

If anyone else forgot, we went ahead an hour this morning.

If you are like me and are still using an old OS, or if you don't have a legal copy of XP, you can go about changing your time zone settings.

Go to "Method 2: Change the time zone settings on a single computer," It's a searies of steps, but it will then set it so your autoupdate of the DST works correctly.

I'm using a copy of XP that may or may not have been obtained legally, and I downloaded and installed Microsoft's update to correct DST with no problems

PS - server times all look fine to me.....dunno what you're talking about?

It was fixed not too long after I made the original post.

And I wasn't able to download Microsoft's update for my comp (they didn't make a fix for 2k), nor James' XP.

I'm surprised that at least James' didn't update. I got the patch about 3 weeks ago for mine...

I couldn't get it around the validation check, and it didn't pass validation.

But all is well.

I really should upgrade to XP. NO Vista for me any time soon though. I'm hearing it could turn into the next ME.

come on genie vista isnt that bad

as for the validation issue XP corperate FTW!

Tru2Chevy · 03-13-2007, 02:19 PM

I just set mine to have automatic update tell me when downloads are available, then I pick and choose what I want to download and install. No need for validation, (although they will try to get you to download WGA whenever they release a new version) and they give you all the security updates as soon as they come out

I had him go to Windows update, and in order to use it, it wanted to go to a new version...I didn't realize it would install the validation tool until after it did it, and I can't roll it back or anything. No big deal, it's going to be formatted at some point anyway.
