Installing this update enables your computer to automatically adjust the computer clock on the correct date in 2007 and 2008 due to revised Daylight Saving Time laws in many countries. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

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.

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.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
