Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / October 2007time zone updates after reinstall
I noticed that two of the XP Pro computers in my office changed back from daylight savings time this week instead of next. The thing that both computers have in common is that I had to reinstall XP from the original CD since the original time change occurred. Even though both computers are fully patched TZEdit shows that they both are using the old time zones. If I try to manually run the updates (either KB931667 or KB933360) I get an error stating that the update has already been performed on that system. Anybody else run into this over the weekend? Don, My desktop was also wrong - and I had just reinstalled XP a few weeks ago. Here's what I did to fix it: Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs. Check the upper box that says "Show Updates". Remove Windows XP Hotfix KB933360. Download KB931836 and KB933360 from Microsoft. Install KB931836 and then KB933360.

I finally did the same and got through it. Looks like this will have to happen everytime somebody reinstalls XP on their system. What a treat :-) > Don, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > that the update has already been performed on that system. Anybody else run > > into this over the weekend?

(Well, the fall change hasn't happened yet, but I mean that my computers didn't change time over the weekend.)

The reinstallation reverts back to the old time changes and the patches don't work unless you either uninstall/reinstall them or use TZEdit to manually change them to the correct settings. > Tue, 30 Oct 2007 10:54:00 -0700 from Don Powell > <DonPowell@discussions.microsoft.com>: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > yet, but I mean that my computers didn't change time over the > weekend.)

Maybe I should have been more explicit. If I had had to reinstall XP, I would have used TZEDIT rather than patches that contain unknown other stuff. My experience with TZEDIT gives me a high degree of confidence that it would work for others who *do* have to reinstall XP.

It has to be installed over the older Hotfix (KB931836) that it superceded. Glad that you were able to get it working. GS > I finally did the same and got through it.
