SYMPTOMS

When you install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4) or Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 (SP5) on your computer, the computer automatically adjusts for daylight savings time even if the option was previously turned off.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because applying SP4 or SP5 re-enables the "automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes" option.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem:
  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  2. Double-click Date/Time, click the Time Zone tab, and then clear the Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes check box.
NOTE: You must do this after each application of a service pack.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
