TRavis, thank ou for the info. I had basicallyh done that and am still trying ti figure out why my Windows XP software did not take the Microsoft patch, which it appears to me it should have.

I run Windows 98 on my hamshack machine, and Microsoft has no patch for that. In Windows, just bring up your Windows clock and un-check "Automatically apply DST" (or similar words), then set the computer clock one hour ahead to Eastern time if you are in the Central time zone. On your calendar write the past DST start date, April 1, and put everything back to normal on that date, or sometime before October. Go manual again in the fall to cover the dates from the last Sunday in October to the new date, the first Sunday in November. It seems to work for me. Perhaps the above instructions could be condensed. Let's see: On March 11 set your computer clock one hour forward and uncheck automatic DST. On November 4, set your computer clock back an hour, leaving automatic DST unchecked year-round. This can be called the full manual mode :-) Regards, Travis Hardin, KE3Y Huntsville, Alabama --- In [email protected], "louloria" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > How do I get the time on my MXW log to read correctly after the time > change last night.
