We just switched to DST in the US this week and I asked myself the same
question. There is a great explanation in the SAG (on your CD somewhere under
LDP) .
However the answer is reboot your machine, go into BIOS setup, (or DOS) and
change your hardware clock to the new local time. You will have to do it
again when DST starts.
This fixed it for me last night - thank you Lars!
As well as some troubleshooting tips, there is a cleaner alternative in the
SAG which will avoid you doing this in future, if you don't use Windows or
OS/2 on the same platform.
