With the change in the legislation of some countries,Many users of computer systems based on Windows began to experience problems with incorrect time settings. To correct the situation, for example, in Windows 7, update the time zones. What for it is necessary, how such update works, we now and we shall look.
The most important thing that is immediately worth noting is the need to automate the system settings related to the correct time settings, depending on the location of the user.
При этом в той же Windows 7 обновление часовых belts for any country is associated exclusively with the automatic transition to summer time and back. In some countries, such a transition was canceled, which, in fact, necessitated the reconfiguration of the computer system. After all, how was it before? System time during the transition changed completely automatically, and after a change in the country's legislation, it turns out, so to speak, a false response. That is why Microsoft specialists offer all users to install an additional update, which will change the current settings.
In general, this topic affects all modifications of Windows OS, not just the "seven". The update for time zones (XP, server version 2008 or any other) works on the same principle.
Суть вопроса сводится к тому, чтобы прописать в system registry in the settings responsible for automating the transitions in time, which are provided in some region, new values. With all this, as it is probably already clear to many, it is absolutely ungrateful to deal with such things manually, and then the system itself can be irreparably damaged, and even so, that it will cease to work afterwards.
To do this, on the official site in the updates section, you just need to download a special update in the form of an executable script, which will create the required keys in the registry.
In later versions of Windows, if the update was not offered to the download automatically, you can use manual search. To do this, use the appropriate section in the standard Control Panel.
As for how the update is donetime zones of Windows 2008 or XP with an unrecovered third service pack, such updates must be downloaded independently. Manual search in this case may not work.
After downloading the corresponding package in the sameWindows 7 update time zones will be fully automatic, and switching to summer time and back depending on the location of the user will no longer cause errors, which in some cases, due to incorrect settings of the date and time, can lead to even a complete inoperability system, until the death screens appear.
However, if the download and subsequent integrationpackage into the system is performed in the automatic update mode, there should not be any problems. If for some reason this does not work, you should download the package yourself, while paying attention to the version of the operating system, its bit depth and the presence of some necessary components (for example, in the case of Windows XP this is the third SP3 service pack, and the latest one release).
Separately it is necessary to tell about what to do notstands categorically. If anyone does not know, there is no official update for Windows XP with the second service pack. Therefore, change the key values in the HKLM registry branch via SOFTWARE, and then in the CurrentVersion / Time Zones subkey it will be necessary to manually. However, in order not to deal with such things, it's better to install SP3 first, first downloading it from the official Microsoft resource, and then just do the update of time zones with integration into the KB package with the corresponding number.
By the way, in Windows 7 update sentriesbelts affects not only the whole system as a whole, but also some of its components separately. So, for example, to the greatest extent this affects the standard Microsoft Outlook mail client. And what exactly you can not do is delete the registry subkeys associated with the time zone settings, even if these data are out of date or do not belong to your region. In a pinch, it's better to use some optimizer that allows you to fix incorrect or obsolete entries automatically and without compromising the system.
As you can see, something critical in the installation of suchThere is no update to any Windows modification. At least, this will avoid problems with improper settings in the future, for example, when accessing any resources on the Internet or installing specific software. And the process itself can be fully automated, provided that the required update is found and downloaded to the computer. However, in the absence of the necessary updates of the system itself, the type of service packs can sometimes be difficult, so it is strongly recommended that you install them before you download and integrate the time zone update package into the system.
