Daylight Savings Time is ending, time to fall back
In 2007, Daylight Savings Time started on 11th March 2007, three weeks earlier than normal. Daylight Savings Time is ending this year one week later than usual, on 4th November (tomorrow). Because in 2007 we’ve had four more weeks of Daylight Savings Time, your PC’s date and time may be affected when Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend.
If you are a Windows Vista user and have Automatic Updates configured for Windows Update, you most likely already have the necessary update to ensure your date and time will make the change come the 4th.
However, if you are unsure whether your Windows Vista PC has the update, you can go to the Daylight Savings Time Help and Support Center at Microsoft.com and use the associated wizard to get the necessary update for your PC. If your Windows Vista PC already has the update, when attempting to install the update you will be alerted that it does not apply to your system.
Another way to check to see if your Windows Vista PC has the correct update for this weekend’s time change is to click on the clock in the lower right-hand corner of the taskbar. A pop-up will appear with the date and time and an alert about Daylight Savings Time ending on 4th November and that your PC will automatically fall back one hour at 2:00am on that date.

Windows Media Center Gadgets for Windows SideShow Released
The Windows SideShow Team has announced that the final version of the Windows Media Center Gadgets for Windows SideShow is now available for download on Windows Live Gallery in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors!
Download: Windows Media Center Gadgets for Windows SideShow (32-bit)
Download: Windows Media Center Gadgets for Windows SideShow (64-bit)
The Windows Media Center Gadgets for Windows SideShow package is made up of the following 4 Gadgets for your Windows SideShow device:
- Now Playing: View what is currently playing in Windows Media Center (includes playback controls)
- Pictures + Video: Browse your Photos and Videos folders
- Music: Browse your Music folder and play any song
- TV: Look at what is on TV via the Windows Media Center Guide, Schedule Recordings, and View Recordings (in a Thumbnail view)
If you are a heavy Windows Media Center user and have a Windows SideShow device – these gadgets are a must-have. My main desktop PC is a Dell XPS 420 which comes with a built-in Windows SideShow display on the top of the system. It is great being able to walk up to the system to check and schedule TV recordings especially if I’m in a hurry and don’t want to sit down at my desk and fire up Windows Media Center. Quick access is awesome.
