Daylight Savings Time Change In US.....

[tls]

Its true, I do have windows.  But I bet your "co-workers" are a bit more interesting than mine.

I do find both my work and my co-workers very interesting, to say the least; whether more interesting than yours, I couldn't say.     Still, even a small window (sealed shut of course  lol) would be an improvement.  I'll have to make do with jogging around the parking lot at lunchtime, weather permitting.

A nice big LCD or Plasma screen with a nice outdoor screen, mountains, lakes, etc. but then again I guess not much work would get done

Ahhh - just back from a run with my 6 year old tagging along on his scooter.  The sweatshirt I wore was actually a little too warm for the weather.

Life is good 

Oh, and I've already changed my clocks.  You can never get too much of a good thing.

True, that might be too much of a good thing.  A few pictures (under glass, of course) of those mountains, lakes, etc. could greatly improve the ambience though, make things seem a bit less sterile.  One doesn't usually think of such things in that environment, but it isn't unreasonable.  Thanks for the idea.

Well it's all over except for the old DST change date in three weeks.
For me, both systems; one Vista one XP changed the time without any problems.

I used one of the links posted by oldman (earlier in this thread) to update my daughters old Win98se computer and my mother's WinME monstrosity.  The Win98 system updated almost smoothly, but mother's computer--hard to say whether the problem is WinME, mother, or some unseen glitch left behind by the nearly-forgotten Norton. 

I will be enjoying the added daylight at the end of the day now!

Tls,

hard to say whether the problem is WinME

ME isn't supported any more. You need to do the changes manually.

The links oldman posted are to "unofficial updates" for unsupported systems.  It worked on the Win98 system, but a few programs would not run until I rebooted.  It also worked on the WinME system, but followed by a crash when I tried to open a program.  Come to think of it, the same thing happened when the time changed last fall.  I would have changed both manually, but I thought a little adventure might be fun.     And, with any luck, they won't try to change again in 3 weeks.
