Re: CMOS time, system time, taskbar clock, all screwy

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

_NO_ Windows operating system prior to Vista is natively ready for these DST changes. So maybe the patch was applied via Automatic Updates or the DST wizzard might need a kick in the pants. Did you use the Time/Date applet and reapply your Time Zone? Change to a different tz then back to your zone and click on "Apply".
