Strange Calendar Behavior

[Markus]

I've got a user running Windows 2000, with Office 2000, SP2. This machine
was cloned from the same image as hundreds of systems here, none of which
are experiencing this problem.
What is happening that when you are under day view in the calendar and you
go to a future date and choose to select a time range and then click the new
appointment button (or double click the time range), instead of creating a
new appointment with that date and time range, it creates a new appointment
with the current date and next half-hour time range.
i.e. Under day view go to September 2, 2003. Highlight 8-12. Click New
Appointment. It brings up a new appointment that would show 8/11/2003 with
start and end times 2:30 pm and 3:00 pm, respectively.
You can manually change the date and time to the correct date and it will
save it in the calendar, but unless you change it, the default is always the
current date and next 30 minute time bracket on the clock.
Does anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it?
Thanks for your help.

Does this also happen when you make your selection and then press ENTER? You
might want to update this client to Office 2000 Servicepack 3 and the latest
hotfixes just to make sure.

Yes it happens no matter how that contact is created. And it sucks. I guess
sp3 is an option. .. but i don't think that should matter since this is one
of numerous cloned machines that aren't experiencing the same issue.
Thanks for you input. Any other suggestions are welcome.

I believe updating the client is the easiest and fastest way to go. That's
the problem with bugs; sometimes you never know when they pop-up. Other
(drastic) solutions could be;
-Reinstall/Repair Office
-Recreating the Outlook Profile
-Recreating the user profile
-Reclone the machine
-Reclone the machine and the user profile
-Recreate the users inbox
