Why do new calendar appointments say computer's time zone is WestCentral Africa??

[Michael Levin]

I'm using OS 10.3.9 on a laptop in Boston, USA. I've got the time set
correctly (auto sync with Apple time server), time zone set to Eastern
Standard Time, and am running Entourage 2004 to connect to a Microsoft
Exchange server at work. Recently, I noticed something weird. When making a
new entry for calendar, the window tells me my Event time zone is Eastern
Time (correct) but my "computer's time zone is West Central Africa". What's
up with this?!?

Make sure that you have the Daylight Saving Time update for Panther
installed.

Then, download and install the latest Office 2004 updates, which are the
Office 2004 11.3.3 & 11.3.4 updates.

In Office 2004, use Microsoft AutoUpdate to get the latest updates. From
any Office application, go to Help > Check for Updates (or manually launch
Microsoft AutoUpdate from the Applications folder). If any updates are
needed, they will display in a sheet, at which point you can check them and
press the "Install" button to download and install them.

Updates can also be found at the Microsoft web site:
