All-day events now 2-day events after update

[Lincoln Cobb]

I just did a Windows update, to XP Home, 5.1.2600 (SP1,
Build 2600). Immediately thereafter, every all-day event
on my Outlook calendar has become a 2-day scheduled
event. This includes holidays provided by Outlook's
holiday list. Now each of those events is scheduled from
3:00pm on the nominal day of the event, through 3:00pm
the following day.

I have noted other messages suggesting that time zones be
carefully checked. That makes initial sense because we
just moved 3 time zones. However, I changed the time
zone setting as soon as I arrived here, and it is in fact
set correctly in Windows and in Outlook. Further, this
odd offset was not in evidence until I downloaded and
installed the updates.

Local time is also set correctly in Windows, but Outlook
shows a different current time setting than Windows, with
a difference of 1 hour, though in both Outlook and
Windows I have checked "Adjust for daylight savings".

All thoughts appreciated.

This does sound like it is releated to the time zone change. You say that
you did change the time zone when you made your move. Did the appointments
change immediately after you made the change? They should have. If they
did not, perhaps the updates that you recently installed fixed a problem on
your computer. Or maybe it is possible that the time did change and you did
not notice it until now.

Assuming that the time zone setting change is the cause of the problem, the
following MS articles may help:
