Daylight Savings Time Change Repeats Continuously (139807)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q139807 SYMPTOMS
During the first hour of Daylight Savings Time, Windows 95 seems to update
your computer's system clock, but instead repeats the following message
every hour:
Windows has updated your clock as a result of Daylight Savings Time.
Please verify that your new clock settings are correct.
CAUSE
The Daylight Savings Time tool changes the time back one hour as it should,
but does not notify the system that the change has been made. Therefore,
the process keeps repeating at 2:00 A.M.
RESOLUTION
When the New Clock Settings message appears, click OK to open Date/Time
properties. Change the time setting to reflect the current time. If it is
2:00:00 A.M., set the clock for 2:00:01 A.M.
MORE INFORMATION
This problem occurs only during the first hour of Daylight Savings Time.
Windows 95 allows you to change your clock display to match time changes
without the need to modify your computer's clock using the computer's CMOS
settings utility. Having Windows 95 report the correct time while allowing
the CMOS clock to remain consistent enables programs that are designed to
use a consistent yearly time clock to retain accurate settings.
