Check your Computer for DayLight Savings Time starting March 11
Beginning in 2007, daylight saving time (DST) will be extended in the United States. DST will start on March 11, 2007, which is three weeks earlier than usual, and it will end on November 4, 2007, which is one week later than usual. This results in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than in previous years.
Unless certain updates are applied to your computer, the time zone settings for your computer’s system clock may be incorrect during this four-week period. In particular, you must make sure that both your Windows operating system and your calendar programs are updated.
Microsoft has provided a nice tool which lets you verify if your computer is upto date with Daylight savings time implemented. You need not worry if you have Windows Vista Operating System or if you have Automatic Updates turned on.
To determine which operating system you have, follow these steps for any operating system other than Windows Vista:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
3. Click the General tab. The name of the current version of your Windows software is displayed on this tab.
