(Speaking of time zone changes, I happened to be on my (Win95) laptop when daylight savings time ended last month. 2:00 AM rolls around, and Windows pops up this screen that says it has detected a time change, and will gladly adjust my system clock for me. I click OKAY, and it goes away. An hour later, the same little window pops up, with the same little message. OKAY a few more times, and next think I know the sun is rising at 1:30 in the morning.) RFLOL!! Same thing has happened to me, this fall and the fall before (well, not the "okay a few more times bit though -g-). I figured it out after it happened again this year: The only way it works properly is if you click "okay" more than an hour later, otherwise it will keep running into 2:00AM and doing the "fall back 1 hour" routine. If you're at your computer at 2:00AM, the thing to do is ignore the "okay" box, and keep doing whatever - or else just go to sleep - and click "okay" in the morning. Evidently Microsofties aren't night owls. -G- Note that there are no problems in the Spring, as you "spring forward" 1 hour. DK
