HOW TO CHECK TIME ZONE AND DATE FORMAT SETTINGS ON YOUR LOCAL PC

NOTE: These instructions apply to Microsoft Windows XP: the steps may differ somewhat depending on the operating system installed on your local computer.

1.) Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Date and Time

2.) On the Time Zone tab, check to make sure that the Time Zone setting matches what is set in the online application under User Settings

3.) Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options

4.) On the Regional Options tab, check to make sure that the language setting is suitable for your time zone. For example, if your time zone is in the US, this should read English (United States) but if your time zone is in Australia, this should read English (Australia).  This setting will control the format that dates appear in on your system.  This should match what is set in the online application under User Settings.

 

TO CHECK TO SEE IF OUTLOOK HAS DISABLED THE ADD-IN, FROM THE MAIN MENU GO TO:
