Outlook 2007

[Christopher]

Hi,

I've recently bought a new Dell laptop running Windows Vista Ultimate and
Office 2007. Both OEM.

I live in Western Australia so am affected by the Perth timezone.

When running Outlook 2007, I keep getting a message pop-ing up say that
there has been a change to the timezone and then wants to update calendar
appoinments and tasks.

I can't seem to be able to turn this off. Is it a known bug in Outlook
2007 as it is driving me crazy. I also added public holidays for
Australia and it keeps wanting to update them and fails on every item 77
altogether as is seems to have imported up to 2012.

Help would be much appreciated.

Sorry to cross post but wasn't sure which group to post in.

Apart from this I am loving Vista and Office 2007.

Regards,

Chris

Seems to be a common problem for WAites.
There is an updated KB article that might address this:

General info on the changes at:

Let us know if it helps. The article and updates are dated 7th August so
they might help - fingers crossed.

Unfortunately this problem is still occurring. :-(

Looks like I've fixed the problem. Seems to be a bad install of the public
holidays causing the issue.

After un-installing Office 2007, I re-installed and downloaded the updates.
Problem still occurred.
Removed all the events and appointments from my calendar and the problem
went away. Reloaded the Australian public holidays and my appointments and
all seems ok.
