Re: Microsoft Security Bulletin(s) for 12/12/2006
Hi Kachi,
Thanks for posting those links. I don't understand why they would tell us to download a utility for a 2003 Server to make this change. Also, why are they giving examples of dates in October and February when those aren't the dates we have to change it to? And I think they're telling us to edit Pacific Time - I'm not in Pacific time. I'll probably just change the hour myself.
I think MS could have made an exception and offered a file for unsupported versions.
Sincerely, Libra |

said by AB  :said by La Luna :OK, I give up....what's "TIF warning"?  That would be "Temporary Internet Files", Luna. A POS warning box that Microsoft Corp. provided with KB921398 awhile back. Evidently not everyone saw it, but on my machine, this extremely irritating 'warning box' popped up every time I went to access my Temporary Internet Files folder. In fact, a thread about it can be found here: » New dialog before opening TIFAnd according to the details in KB925454, it includes that warning again, and I DON'T WANT IT! Grrrr!  *Edit- *See my previous post in this thread.* Oh, ok. I thought of temp internet files, but I couldn't figure out how that related to the thread, I didn't know you had that problem.

About the time zone update, if the only tools are for 2003 version or XP..how do you update it for Win2k Pro other than manually hacking the registry?
Does it matter if I don't update it?
Can I just use time sync like time.nist.gov?
I don't have IE/OE on here at all (it's removed, thus why I only have 21 processes including Opera, HyperSnap, Firewall and Winpatrol).
I think I'll be moving to an alternative OS soon if this keeps being a hassle.
This is silly and too much of a bother with my old PIII/Athlon machines that otherwise work fine on windows 2000.

The only place I saw anything about October/February and Pacific time was for the WU download for Australian DST change (which, for some reason, I was offered on my laptop, along with the US download).

I think the thrust of her post, Luna, is that she is running 98SE, and Microsoft has not provided a time-change update for that OS, recommending instead an edit to the Server 2003 update as a work-around, or something to that effect. |

We don't have daylight savings. What is this time change? Never heard of it. Do I need this software update if Hawaii doesn't observer daylight savings (which all states should stop observing IMO)? |

I use NisTime (nistime-32bit.exe) set to go at startup on both XP and 98se systems and disable the XP clock setter - works for me. |

If you are running Win2k or any version other than 2003 or XP SP2, they are suggesting you download the entire Server 2003 Resource Kit, just to get the tzedit.exe utility that will allow you to change things for 2k, etc.
Why did they not just post the updated tzedit file? Or have they and I've missed it?

Why does this concern you if you "never heard of it" or don't have DST (which is it?)? Most people like DST as it gives more hours of daylight in the evening. Why would you need this update if Hawaii doesn't participate in DST? 
"...which all states should stop observing IMO"....which is a negative opinion on something that you "never heard of" or doesn't affect you.

This whole 'time' thing has always been a problem for me.
I keep trying to save as much of it as I can, but no matter what I do, I never have any left.
I'm hoping for a solution some day...only time will tell.
In the mean time, I'll be keeping a close Watch.

Or else they're selling it to Third World countries behind our backs.
And let me tell you something-- they've got a TON of it stashed away!
An hour in the Spring, EVERY YEAR, which they pretend to "give back" in the Fall!
Yeah, right! Who do they think they're kidding??
Ted Stevens has got it all funnelled to Alaska, and hidden deep in some underground igloo.
And Microsoft Corp. is in on the conspiracy, too! You can write that one in stone.

Why would you need this update if Hawaii doesn't participate in DST? "...which all states should stop observing IMO"....which is a negative opinion on something that you "never heard of" or doesn't affect you. No one answered my question. I didn't especially need a link to an essay about how awful Daylight Savings Time is although that was ok as it is just more ammunition against it ....I already know that medically and otherwise it is a very bad idea. I don't know why anyone would like it. Who wants sunshine at 9PM and darkness at 10PM? That's nuts. I hate it when I go to visit my mother in Arkansas and have to live with light artifically ended in the evening too late and starting funny in the morning. It wasn't like that when I was growing up in Arkansas and we all managed just fine. There is no need to artifically manipulate time twice a year and disrupt circadian rhythms.
I asked what is this time change? And no one told me...that Wiki essay doesn't either ....maybe somewhere in that long article is a reference to what I asked but I didn't see it and Wiki says the article badly needs updating and cleaning up...so I ask again what is this time change this coming year? I have sort of figured out it is going to be longer than in past years? Is that correct? That will be awful for us in Hawaii. Just awful ....we all hate it when you guys go on it and can't wait for you to get off it and if that time is extended...then double UGH.
Plus, what is this Microsoft patch? It is only for those going on this NEW DST? Or what? Why is a patch needed in 2007 that wasn't needed when going on DST on the Mainland in 2006? Remember in Hawaii we don't have a bunch of news articles about DST on the Mainland. We can't even remember when you guys have it and don't...we just hate it and wish it would go away permanently as it is very disruptive of health, circadian rhythms, etc. for those who must endure it and bad for us in Hawaii for any business we have to do with the Mainland because it extends the already significant time difference so that in many instances I cannot call customer service for a business on the East Coast ever during DST because the hours are during my sleep hours and breakfast and I don't do mornings so I am not sufficiently awake to make a business call until after breakfast and by then customer service has closed.

For 2007 DST is extended 4 weeks and starts March 11 and ends November 4, 2007. The OS will be patched to refleck that change so the clock will be updated properly.

Hi LaLuna,
I was referring to the work-around they give for unsupported OS's (I have Windows 98se). All of that is too confusing to me.
I haven't updated our XP computer yet, but when I do I will install the DST update on it.
Sincerely, Libra |
