(+8 GMT) Perth time zone in outlook 2007: why doesn't it work?
Hi,
I have been having problems with the Perth time zone in outlook for some time now. Like some of the other people posting here every time I opened outlook I got a message wanting to move appointments, and since there didn't seem to be an easy fix I simply ran my computer in the +8 Beijing time zone. Since we have now gone into Daylight savings, and Microsoft validation didn't like my clock being inaccurate, I changed back to the Perth Time zone, but it doesn't seem to work. When I use the 'change time zone' feature on my calendar folders, every item that it tried to move comes up as failed. So I tried manually adjusting the time zones on each appointment. When I attempt to change the time zone, I have to change both the start and finish time zone (but for every other time zone, changing just the start time zone will automatically changes the finish time zone also. Then when I attempt to save the appointment with the new settings, sometimes it won't save, i.e. it doesn't move on the calendar, and when I reopen the appointment the time zone is still set to the old setting. If I change the time zone, and adjust the start time back one hour, it will then save, and when reopened shows no time zone. I am using a new vista home basic laptop, running Outlook 2007. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, is it possible to actually contact Microsoft about issues such as this, because they don't appear to have any sort of contact details, and I wonder if Microsoft is even aware that their Perth time zone patch doesn't work. kind regards, Alastair |

thanks for the prompt reply,
I have already tried the fixes you suggested, and they didn't seem to work. Windows update tells me that there are no other updates at this time, yet still I can't set appointments to the Perth time zone. Though I have manually managed save each appointment so that it shows up as the correct time, however the time zone box is blank when I go into the appointment. regards, Alastair |

did you verify in the registry that the tz update is installed?
look for the key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones the key should have subkey called Dynamic DST BTW - the correct KB is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933360/ (the other one links to this). -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "Alastair" wrote in message news thanks for the prompt reply, I have already tried the fixes you suggested, and they didn't seem to work.

Thanks,
in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\Time Zones\W. Australia Standard Time there is a subkey called Dynamic DST In relation to kb/933360/ I had realised that the one you gave previously linked to this one, and this is the one that I have installed. However, I am still not able to set appointments in outlook to the Pert time zone regards, Alastair |
