I would guess that just setting the timezone to one without a daylight savings time switch or just turning off daylight savings time would avoid the issue. I believe GMT does not have a daylight savings time. If you're in a timezone that does have a time change and you're using local time on Windows you may not have a choice. Ed Gordon
