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
