I wonder if this will stump everyone.  When I installed Outllook 2007 on my
Vista computer, I was not aware that I must've set my time zone to Central
America instead of Central Time.  When I corrected this through WIndows, it
changed all of my dated entries on my Outlook calendar.  In other words,
correcting my computer to the right time zone jacked up everything on my
calendar.  Now, birthdays span over 3 days, all day events appear over 2
days, etc.  The only temp fix was to set my computer clock time zone back to
Central America.  Now, the only way I can see fixing this is to set my time
zone to Central Time (the correct zone), delete everything in my calendar and
then re-enter it.  Anyone know of an easier way of fixing this?

You might also check, in OL, Tools>Options>Calendar Options

Won't changing it in the calendar options have the same effect as changing
the time zone via Vista?

There are two seperate & different Calendar settings
One in the Control Panel &  Second in OL if either or both are incorrect the
OL calendar will never function correctly

Export your calendar to Excel, use it to change all the times, empty your
calendar, then import the changed data from Excel.

you can use the time zone tool to move time zones - its built into Outlook
2007 or you can use the updated version that works in all versions of
outlook.

change the tz to central then run the tool.
