I don't normally use Outlook, but was forced into using it recently as
a hub for syncing my contacts and calendars with several other things
I actually do use, the newest being an iPhone (using the Apple
MobileMe service, which doesn't support syncing with any Windows stuff
other than Outlook). In doing this (and I still have unresolved
issues with getting the Outlook <-> MobileMe sync to work, but that's
probably Apple's problem and unrelated to this issue I'm discussing
here) I noticed a problem where the events in calendars imported from
other places were getting shifted forward one hour. Looking in old
groups and web sites, I see lots of similar problems in the past,
often related to daylight saving time and time zone shifts. In my
attempts to fix it, I went to the configuration (Tools menu > Options
but where it displays the current time underneath this, it shows it
one hour ahead; like, at 10:30 AM it says 11:30 AM instead. The time
in the taskbar in the lower right shows correctly (10:30 AM), with the
right time zone settings when I click on it.
I'm using Windows XP with the Outlook (2002?) that came bundled with
my system (Dell). Is there some patch or service pack, not installed
in the automatic Windows updates, that I need to install?
