Switch Time Zone

Lucky for me I waited till I added all of my schedule information to my exchange/outlook 2000 account, then realized that my laptop is set to the wrong time zone. Now when I try to change to the correct time zone (pacific to eastern) all of my all day appointments span into the next day.

Is there anyway to fix this w/o having to recreate my whole schedule again?

Note: When I go to another laptop with the correct time zone (eastern) and check my schedule it shows up correctly.
So I'm pretty sure it's something I have to change in the
options of Outlook.

Note: I am connected to an exchange server and sync with my laptop (which shows the times wrong when I change timezones) but not with the other laptop (that has the correct time zone)

Thanks,

Interesting problem,
Personally, My solution would be simple.
If you have your laptop fully sync'd with Exchange, And you can access ALL of your data from another workstation (And you are dead sure you are 100% sync'd)
Then I would blow-up the existing profile on your laptop, (delete it and any offline folders)
Set your time zone correctly,
Restart Outlook, And recreate the profile and re-setup your offline folders and syncing.

Seems like an easy answer.
Good Luck.
