Daylight Saving time

[Ivan Awfulitch]

Forgive my ingnorance. Once I unzip the file, I will have a Cab file on my computer. Exactly where do I place it on the X51 to execute it, i.e., which directory/location in order for it to peform its function.

Thanks for your time.

Copy it to the temp directory, then click it using the file explorer. It will run and allow it to install to the default installation location. A soft reset and you're finished.

Has anyone tried changing the registry for the new dates of Daylight Saving Time for 2007? http://support.microsoft.com/?id=923953 Perhaps I'm not reading it reading it right but the page says not to just edit the registry. It says to use the key info in a .inf file then a cab file. How does one go about that? Do you just open the cab file on the WM5 pda?
Thanks.

I found someone who created the CAB file containing the registry fix discussed in the Microsoft article 923953. I already installed it on my Axim x51v and it works fine. Once installed, you will have to select a different Time Zone on the PDA and accept the change, then go back and select your correct Time Zone.

To test, I simply changed the date to March 11, 2007 - 1:59 am. I waited 1 minute and it automatically advanced my time to 3:00 am.

I made the cab file. Attached here.

Thanks for the cab file!

OK, I just noticed this apparent glitch. I see that all my appointments from Mar 11 to Apr 1 (the additional DST added this year) are now 1 hour later than supposed to be. What gives??

What is wrong with this method?

yea I uninstalled the patches I downloaded from here in favor of the official Microsoft one.

Yeah mine did the same thing. Scheduled everything an hour early and it also duplicated stuff on different days...

How did you uninstall? Did you use the device "Remove Programs" function?

yes i did because it shows up there

[davidtm]

Thanks. I did that, and it's gone, and the times on my Ax reverted to normal. However, the same appointments are still one hr off on my laptop's Outlook calendar. I have the question into our IT guys as to what they're going to do with the Exchange server and our PDA's.

I have gone to the Windows Mobile site (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...ings_1033.mspx) and pressed the button on the bottom of the page "ACCEPT AND DOWNLOAD", but nothing happens. It should be noted that I am using a Mac PowerPC G4, and Microsoft sometimes doesn't work with Macs when it comes to downloading things.

Is there any way, other than using a PC, that I could get the download that Microsoft has for this Daylight Savings fix? Could someone PM me with this download.

Thank you all, in advance.

Works for me in Firefox.

I am using Safari. I have Firefox too. I didn't think about using Firefox. Thank you. I'll tell you how it goes.

Again, thank you.

Thank you. It worked perfectly. One more reason to be a member of the great forum of knowledge. Thank you.
