As you probably know already, the DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME (DST) in 2007 will change as The Energy Policy Act of 2005 takes effect in the U.S. and Canada.

In a nutshell, the new DST will start on the SECOND SUNDAY in MARCH (instead of 1st Sunday in April) and end on the FIRST SUNDAY in NOVEMBER (instead of the last Sunday in October). So starting this year, the DST (a.k.a. "summer time") will start on 3/11/'07 and end on 11/4/'07.

Your computer's operating system must be able to automatically adjust the time according to the new DST schedule. Computers at your work place should be taken care of by your IT department. For your own computer(s) at home, you must install an appropriate update for your OS...

And the same update applies for Canada, too, so if you live or work in Canada, don't forget to download that file and install it.

    I just reinstalled Windows XP Pro on my wife's 1.5gHz P4 256MB RAM machine. It was fine for a

    seconds to show the menu. Before the format, it was the same OS, also SP2. I have added a few
    programs, such as Open Office, BrilliantPhoto, Adaware, and others. I do not know if the problem was
    before or after the installation on these programs. Some of the were installed before SP2, some
    after. What could I troubleshoot? I am not familiar with Windows. Thank you. ...
