Is Your Computer Clock Correct?

Friday 16 March 2007

Reset your computer clock for daylight savings time.

On Sunday, March 11, 2007 daylight savings time began (three weeks early!). This change could affect your computer's operating system, your Outlook calendar, and other time-based applications.

Unless certain updates are applied to your computer, the time zone settings for your computer may be incorrect for the three weeks prior to the normal daylight savings time period.

To avoid these issues (especially if you are noticing abnormalities since last Sunday) you must make sure that both your Windows Operating System and your calendar programs are updated. If you use Windows Vista or have Automatic Updates turned on, you may not be affected. If you want to confirm, follow the steps in the Daylight Savings Time Update Guide at Microsoft's site: DST Help and Support Center.
