Either
the time is adjusted during the election cycle or you explain Microsoft's
incompetence, and tell them to expect that the totals report and audit printouts
to have a time stamp that is out by an hour. It's not as if the election
will shut down prematurely. Our software isn't setup that way. I
believe pollworkers still use wrist watches and wall clocks to determine when
the polls should open and close.
Granted, this doesn't look good but I don't believe
it's a show stopper.

Yes,
that is true. However, during the early voting process, the daylight
savings time will change during the election cycle, and there is no way to fix
the time once the election has been set.

Just my 2 cents... Computers do not keep perfect
time. If the time is important, customers should always check the
time before an election. Changing to daylight savings or standard
time should not be a big deal if they are checking anyway.

So what do we have the customer do, until the new
fix???

Jeff,
It seems Microsoft in
their great wisdom decided not to support automatic daylight saving time
adjustment. We will add this to our task to do.

Subject: Daylight Savings Time -
Windows CE - AVTS R6 - Not Changing Time
I have
tried several times to get the Daylight Savings Time to work on the
AVTS R6 unit. I have set the date to April 6th at
11:30p.m., I have the Daylight savings time currently in effect, box
checked. I then have let it run for over 3 hours, so the time is
2:30a.m. on April 7th, but it does not change the time to 3:30a.m. as
it should. Do I need to let the R6 run for a full 24 hours,
since it is Windows CE??? I can change the time on my laptop or
any other computer in the office to 1:59a.m., April 7th, and when it
turns 2:00a.m., it automatically goes to 3:00a.m. Is this a bug
in CE, or am I doing something wrong???
