daylight savings time

[jjjapd]

all of my calendar appointments are showing up 1 hour earlier since daylight savings time went into play... My PC still has the proper times but even after synchronizing it is still wrong on my device... any suggestions?

I am also having this problem.
I tried a Daylight saving update from the website but nothing happened.

Well, I just did a test. Added an appointment on my desktop via outlook for 8 this evening. It synched to my device for 7 this evening.???

Someone help!

I am having the same issue. I found this:

but that doesn't exactly offer a clean solution, just a couple clunky workarounds.

Go here and download the Daylight Savings Time update

Thanks for the link. However, I applied the patch and nothing changed. After applying the fix that I linked to I had a hodge-podge of correct and incorrect appointments. After applying the patch that you linked to I still have that same hodge-podge. It seemed so promising too .

Unfortunately, I have the exact same problem, so my post does not offer any solutions. But for those out there who are more skilled and for those who perhaps doubt that there is something strange going on here, I would like to outline all the steps I took:

1) When I got my phone (recently), there was an added sheet advising that DST updates may need to be done, so I went to the web-site and followed all 4 steps. The first was to make sure all Windows XP updates are complete. Since it is my work computer that I synch with, and IT has recently changed policies to force and enforce all updates, I have no choice in the matter. All updates have been done, as our IT department is very quick to act on all updates. We are also running Windows XP SP2, which should cover all updates of this nature inherently.
2) The second step said to make sure the Microsoft Outlook updates have been run. Since we have Office 2003 at work, I followed the steps and eventually led to running a file labelled TMZMOVE.EXE. I was elated, because a few appointments needed to be updated, so I thought I was on the right track. I checked appointments all the way through until December, covering the next time change as well.
3) I checked my version of Active Sync, and according to the steps, I needed to upgrade to Active Sync version 4.5. There was a little pain involved there, because I had already done my first sync with the old version of Active Sync installed, so the installer already noticed another profile, and wouldn't let me modify any settings from the previous. I had to create a new profile that synch'ed with nothing, go back and change to old profile, do some juggling, do the hokey-pokey, and voila, 30 minutes later, I was able to synch again.
4) Install the Windows Mobile DST Update tool.
The end result, it didn't seem to work. I have some appointments that are on, and some that are off by an hour. I began to operate under the assumption that maybe some of my old appointments were the cause of the problem then I got a new meeting invite. I accepted. The appointment was correct in Outlook, and 1 hour off on my new Treo. Yay! I'll be early for all meetings!

Any ideas are welcome at this point. I am in Canada, and more specifically BC. But we do observe DST here, and should be in the same time zone as California.

This is really pissing me off. Can't find a fix!

Hey,

here in NC we're all about Daylight Savings Time, but I've got to say my Treo700W is whacked. I tried everything above. No better. All Outlook Calendar events appear an hour earlier in Treo. I synch wirelessly. Maybe this will jog somebody, but all synched Outlook Email shows an hour earlier date once it's in the Treo. Funny, this feels new but maybe its been doing it for as long as the Calendars have been out of whack.

This is very annoying. My IT guy says Treo is junk.

I have done absolutely nothing and all of a sudden everything seems to be fine. All appointments, emails, etc. are recording the correct time?

Very strange but it is synching correctly
