Or if you live in Mexico where the old DST rules still apply. We end up on Mountain Time for the first week of November and for 3 weeks in April (otherwise CDT).

Unfortunately my computer adjusts based on US standard time so it is wrong for 4 weeks.

Re: Daylight saving time
Did you just not update your computer or do you set the wrong zone or what? The US switched the adjustment at the same time as Canada.kcowan wrote:Unfortunately my computer adjusts based on US standard time so it is wrong for 4 weeks.

We have one Mexican computer but had to get English Windows installed. Unlike Apple, changing the language in MS requires this. It does have the expanded keyboard with an extra column of keys.Shakespeare wrote:So is your computer Mexican or USian?

You don't change the language, just set the location in regional settings (from control panel).kcowan wrote:We have one Mexican computer but had to get English Windows installed.

Re: Daylight saving time
What Microsoft OS are you running? In Windows 7, click Start and then type in 'time' and you should see an entry 'Date and Time' near the top of the list. Click it. You'll see the clock and in the bottom there is a button for "Change time zone...", click it. Can't you select "UTC-6 Guadalajara, Mexico City, and Monterrey" and also check Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time"?
IIRC, for previous OS versions, the procedure is the same.

Have done it myself when taking laptop to PV or HNL - surprised you were not aware of it.

Re: Daylight saving time
You would be amazed at the simple things that I have never mastered. I keep my laptop on Pacific time to avoid confusing people.

Re: Daylight saving time
The system's clock has been advanced one hour for daylight savings time. If you're logged in, you might want to change your personal time display by ticking the DST Yes option in your user control panel and pressing Submit.

Teaser, probably the last time you'll need to make this change.
