Old update. This was released a long time ago. If it wasn't, our clocks would all be wrong right now.

If it supports XP SP3, then it HAS been updated, and DOES need to be installed.
.... If you're in a time zone that's wrong of course |

buzz99, uninstall the existing version of KB942763 and install the revised KB942763 update released 4/21/2008.
that's how I got the new one to work. It looks like the KB942763 DST patch was revised. It now has tzchange.exe version 5.1.2600.3341 for XP SP2 and tzchange.exe version 5.1.2600.5570 for XP SP3. So the file version info in MS KB article 942763 is no longer correct. |

"This update supersedes and replaces update 933360, which was released in August 2007. This update also includes additional time zone changes that were signed in to law after update 933360 was created.
If you have already deployed update 933360, read the descriptions of the specific time zone changes that are addressed in this Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article to determine whether you must deploy this update immediately. If systems are not directly affected, you can schedule deployment at the next available opportunity." |

It says right on the KB page what they updated. Let's be a little more specific for the people who are too lazy to scroll to the very bottom (past the earlier updates) and find it: In both registry subkey tables, for Arabic Standard Time, DST start has been changed from "First Sunday in April..." to April 1 at 3:00:00. Frankly, it's not a very user-friendly KB article to be titled "December 2007 cumulative..." and show a release date of November 27, 2007 when it was last updated March 31, 2008. |

Old update. This was released a long time ago. If it wasn't, our clocks would all be wrong right now. Guess what? My computer had been resetting the time when ever I try to fix the time to the right time. It keeps on changing back. I uncheck "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" and it still fix my time. My patches are up-to-date. My GMT is always set on the right zone upon installing the OS. I was really annoyed by this bug. |

Recent DST Changes took place in Morocco & Pakistan but so far our time on the systems isnt getting automatically adjusted. Any updates on this for Windows XP & Windows 2003 users?

Hmm?
Old thread but came here checking to see how many commecnts there were regarding the recent time change, again! None of my 6 computers have automatically updated. Must be because I don't allow automatic checking. When I change it manually though, it changes to whatever it feels like, sometimes. |
