This patch does not work either. I got the same error message when trying
to
apply the patch on top of SP3. Any other suggestion?

You will need to validate that you have a Genuine copy of Windows.
You can also look on the Windows Update page, and see if this update
somehow
got hidden and was not installed previously. I believe you need XP SP2 or
XP
SP3 for these updates. If you are still running XP SP1 or earlier these
may
not work, until you update to at least XP SP2.

I already tried KB931836 and it's giving me that error I've written
above.
As
for the Austrialian, I need the USA version.



I am forwarding here a copy of an e-mail message sent to my daughter last
year. Note the name of the app and the link. IIRC the procedure requires
two steps but the instructions are accurate. HTH.

================= Letter follows =====================

As I said on the phone, I followed this procedure at the start of DST this
year and didn't encounter any trouble. I don't know yet, naturally, if it
will correct the clock the first week in November.

The application is called "TZEdit.exe"

The application changes entries in the registry. It can be performed
manually, but no one recommends doing it this way.

Microsoft claims that it works on all versions of Windows. I assumed you
were using XP, if not, then probably Me (Millennium Edition) or 2000; if
not, then previous versions are 98 and 95. I wouldn't go back any farther
than that.

Here's the link provided by IBM, with explanations:
