You can test if your system is updated for this by going to:

The Microsoft updates, assuming you are doing them, resolve the DST 
issue  for XP SP2, Server2003 and Vista, but earlier OS's are more 
difficult to update.  But there is a program that you can run on W2K 
(and a different one for W98/ME) you can read about here:

They have a patch also for W98/ME.

I have run the updates from Intelliadmin on a W2K machine and a Win98 
machine and they appear to have worked.  After running the updater you 
have to click on the time (lower right hand corner) and go to the time 
zone section and click on OK to get it to take effect.  At least that is 
what it seemed to require on Win98.

Do this at your own risk!
