Scanreg for Windows 2000?

By the way, your clock is still screwed up. Try running this DST patch,
it should correct your entries in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time
Zones.

You said in another newsgroup that you were using a third party clock
sync program, I suggest that you ditch the program, it seems to be
screwing up your Windows 2000 time zone settings.

Thanks, John. In Windows 98, I could make a startup disk but the ERD seems a
bit more complicated. I have Acronis so perhaps I may not need an ERD.

I'm trying the patch (which I think is similar to Gary Terhune's) in
addition to the Dimension 4 software. BTW, I wasn't using Dimension 4 when I
posted my question.

Making an ERD is pretty simple, it takes about 30 seconds to do, look in
you Windows help files for more information. This disk (and the backup
registry) can be extremely an valuable tool when certain failures strike!

I've used Dimension 4 for years and it's never been a problem for me.
Perhaps it's the specific server you have it configured for?

Actually, I don't think the problem is with D4. I think it does fix the time
problem.

It isn't doing too good of a "fixing" job, you are still posting way off
into the future!
