did your computer fix the time by itself?

I downloaded the patch for Windows XP for the daylight saving time change, well this morning nothing happened. Is it my computer or is the fix bad?

Same here. W208 would even allow me to override the time. The satellite icon clued me in to the fact that it must be calibrated via GPS. Still, no change.

Yeah, that threw me - though I could reset via the COMAND.

It should have calibrated via GPS, appparently their satellite's software was out of date.

Same thing happened to my one the pc.

I downloaded the fix, and it didn't change the time. I had to do it manually.


Now, the Mac on the other hand, changed the time by itself after downloading the update.

Windows Mobile 2005 also changed correctly with the update, after a reboot.

I don't remember downloading any patch for the time change but when I turned on the computer a few minutes ago lo and behold the time was changed.

Mine updated automatically. I don't remember it downloading anything within the last week since my is in suspension when it moves from home, to the office and back.

My work PC on XP did without doing anything, I'm not sure about the home one.

I did have to turn the knob to change the clock on my TD this morning.

I decided not to change the time as I do not use Outlook as a scheduler of my appointments.
It corrected the time, anyway. No input from me. I guess MS sent me a patch, but I took no overt action.

My computer at work is just as accurate today as it was on Friday. It has NEVER had the correct time on it. Windows XP Professional.

I don't blame Microsoft for this, though. The guy who maintains our network seems very disorganized and not too sharp most of the time. I'm sure that has a lot to do with this issue among many others.
