how do I know if the early time change will affect my new computer?

Question

I heard that some new computers wont automatically adjust and we have to down load a program. Is that true? Do I just have to wait and find out what's going to happen?

Answer 1

As long as your keeping up to date with windows updates, you'll be fine.

Answer 2

Yo Pinkie
If you are using the XP Operating System ---- done updates but are not SURE that THIS update has been done--- here is the key for you to check--- Go into the control panel and click the Add / Remove utility--- when the window opens--- be sure to check the "include updates" box at the top of the page---
Once the menu of your programs and updates have developed on the page--- scroll down to the Windows entries and search among the updates listed under Windows for the update----------KB931836 ---------- If it is there----you are good to go !!!! If not--- you need to clilck over to the MS Windows Update and have the most current of updates installed (if you haven't done this -- ever-- it is quick and simple and MUCH to be advised---especially FOR such things as this Time Deal should prove to you)

And, to the dudes that think this time thing is simply a "clock set" thing--- you are apt to be finding out that there are FAR more functions going on with this "time shift" thing than a simple "clock setting" operations will cover---- there are internal things going on here that don't necessarily have to do with the sync of YOUR computer's clock---you are the ones that are liable to find genuine snaffu's in the next few days that you really didn't expect or consider---- (CLUE) If this had been a simple " set your clock" thing---don't you think that Microsoft and others would have saved themselves the effort in all of these updates issued by simply announcing--- Everybody--- be sure and reset your clocks !!!----and been done with it ???? So, guess again !!!!

If you are using some other system -- I sure can't help with that --- I am only in touch with XP OS --- so go to the appropriate update site and do an update-- it is Highly Advisable !!!

Answer 3

OHHHHH NOOOOOOO the clock isn't going to adjust itself????? whatever will we do? You mean that at 1:59 a.m. my clock may only change to 2:00a.m. instead of 3:00a.m. like its supposed to????

Well I guess I'll have to either always be an hour behind everybody else or, maybe, just maybe, I could right click on the clock and select to adjust date/ime and set it manually to the correct time? Naw thats crazy, it would work, and its just too simple...I guess I may have to just go out and buy a new computer that has the correct time already set.

Answer 4

Just click on the time, or clock and set your clock. It's as
easy as falling off of a log! The time is usually at the right
bottom of your screen.

Answer 5

If you have windows XP or Vista, and your windows update is running, it should be fine. If you're not sure you can go to Microsoft.com and download a patch. If you have a windows 95/98/NT you will have to change it manually.

Answer 6

Grinding internal noise and smoke coming out the computer is a sign of any effect... (LOL)
The wait and see is the best way to find out.

Answer 7

LOL!
Right mouse click on the clock on the bottom bar!
Adjust it yourself!
Easy eh!
