I am running Outlook 2003 Pro, and all my appointment on
this machine are one hour behind (8:00 appt shows at 7:00)
So I have checked my time zone and it shows correct, and
the "Current Time" is correct and synced with my PC time.
I was having this problem before, so I scrubbed my hard
drive and re-installed XP and Office and still get it.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks

When you said you checked your time zone, where did you check it? If just in
Windows, check it in Outlook. Go to Tools, Options, Calendar Options, Time
Zones. Make sure "automatically adjust for daylight savings time" is checkd.

I have this exact problem. The times are correct in Outlook and checked for
daylight savings time. The time is correct on the PC as it synches with our
server. I installed Office XP SP3 on every machine and still it is incorrect
 
I am having a similar problem. I have a calendar in a public folder used by
the office. 3 people see all day events checked and on 1 day and 2 people
the appointments with the all day event not checked. Everyone has
automatically adjust for daylight savings time checked. Should I be looking
other places to insure the time is corect?
 
I am having the same problem, although my calendar pushes
my appointments ahead. I checked both windows and outlook
for the date and time zone. Everything is correct in both
places but my appointments are still an hour off. This
happens to only one computer in my office. The others are
fine. The settings are all the same.
 
Having the same problem. I am running Windows XP, SP2 with Outlook 2003 SP1.
The time zone in both the system time and on my outlook calandar is Eastern
Time, and the button for auto adjust is checked on both. The time in Outlook
stays exactly one hour behind my system time, even when I change the system
time. When I try to change time zones in Outlook, I get a "The handle is
invalid" error message. When playing around in the registry, I found that
several of the time zone settings were set to "Central Standard Time" which
is an hour behind my time zone. I changed them to Eastern Standard time, but
that hasn't helped anything. I think that the bias keys may have an effect,
but I don't know which ones to change. Try doing a registry search, I'm
interested in seeing if anyone else has time zones listed that are one hour
off from the system time zone.
 
This seems to still be an issue. my OUtlook and Windows DST settings are
selevted and yet by items are still off, ahead by one hour. Someone HELP!
 
I am having the same problem you are Lindsay. My times are pushed one hour
ahead. And when i adjust the time in Outlook, it adjusts the time in Windows
so that it always remains one hour ahead. And if I uncheck DST in Outlook,
it unchecks it for Windows, too. No matter what, Outlook always one hour
ahead. We are having only one user out of hundreds experiencing this. I
have loaded Atomic Clock Sync on all the pc's to no avail.

AAHH! I have the EXACT problem. I've checked everywhere for a fix. If anyone
hears of a fix, PLEASE let me know. Desperate.

You appear to have a mismatch between Windows' daylight savings time setting
and Outlook Calendar's daylight savings time setting.
 
I tried to change the time zone in Windows XP OS by going to the control
panel >date and time. I selected the Indiana time zone. I selected OK. I
went back in and the time zone listed at the bottom of the window on the
Date& Time tab says EST is the current time zone. I checked the Time Zone
tab it still has Indiana listed. I will reboot to see if it changes but I
don't think it will because I have selected Indiana before and the Zone has
not changed. Outlook is set to Indiana as well. Maybe one of them has to be
changed before the other? Maybe I am changing the OS zone in the wrong
place? Any suggestions?
