In August 2005, the United States (U.S.) government passed the Energy Policy Act, changing the dates of both the start and the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST). As this act begins taking effect in 2007, DST starts three weeks earlier than in the past (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and ends one week later than previously (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November). Both differ from what has traditionally occurred.
This change causes usability problems and errors in existing computer systems. Simply setting the clock yourself will NOT solve these problems. Unigrep is ready to assist you in seamlessly transitioning your PCs to the new DST statute. We commit to ensuring that all issues related to this have been researched and resolved prior to the DST change.
Please call us to schedule a time to apply the updates to your current systems. The time involved will be approximately 30 minutes per computer. Or, if you would rather apply the updates yourself, please review the links below.
Some versions of Microsoft Windows (95, 98, ME, and 2000) are no longer supported by Microsoft. Unigrep CAN provide you with updates to all versions of Microsoft Windows as well as updates to Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange server.
