DST Problem - Alarms going off 1 hour late

[Guest]

I'm using Outlook 2002. My husband downloaded the DST updates for XP and the
next thing I knew every appointment in my Outlook calender had been moved up
1 hour (a 2:00 pm appointment was now logged for 3:00 pm). My husband spent
an evening downloding the updates for Outlook and getting everything back in
order. I was great - everything seemed to be back in order.

The next day I looked at the clock and realized I was almost an hour over
due for a phone call I was suppose to make. I checked my calender. It was
logged, the time was right, the alarm was set, it just hadn't gone off. A
few minutes later it went off and the dialoge box that popped up with it said
it was an hour overdue. Thats the way it is with all my reminders now - the
alarm goes off for the first time an hour late and it says it's an hour
overdue.

I don't know what to do! Help, please, someone!

Microsoft does offer a separate tool, TZmove.exe, for updating the Calendar
events. I don't know how it would handle the events now that they have been
manually tweaked. FWIW, here's the link to the tech article that contains the
download link for these tool:

Good luck!
