Honeywells PDF directs you to remove the hotfix via add/remove programs, this does not really work well.

My computer did not show the hotfix to remove so I needed to edit the registry.
this happen to me a second time, Windows XP new computer, I looked for the hotfix and it was not there but the time zone were in the registry.
run ->regedit->local_machine->software->microsoft->windows nt->currentversion->time Zones
Delete any time zones just get it under 100
