Are You Affected By The New DST

Beginning in 2007, Daylight Savings Time (DST) in the US and Canada will start three weeks earlier on March 11, 2007, and end one week later on November 4, 2007, resulting in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than previously observed.

Depending on where you live and which time zone you have selected, it is possible that the time zone settings for your computer's system clock may be incorrect during this four week period unless certain updates are applied to your computer.

While the change in daylight saving time applies to U.S. and Canada, the change may impact customers based outside North America.

Rather that repost all the information about who is affected by the new DST, I am giving you the link to a Microsoft article that identifies who needs to update and provides the tools they have developed for their customers to address the DST change.

When I downloaded the updates I did find that I already had the XP update since I have automatic updates turned on. However, there is an update for Outlook users and it had not been automatically downloaded.

You can go here to read the article and update your software if necessary.
