Can anyone help with this error message please! It is driving me nuts!

ERROR: Time zone are different on device (offset = 540) and desktop (offset = 480) (GetLastError = 0)

I have checked and checked and updated WIndows as well as my HTC TYTNII running Windows Mobile 6.1. I have patched the timezone for Western Australia an d it all appears corect yet I get the above message and do not know what else to do. Please help!

Hello Sum,

The problem is in the Lightning timezone definition for Perth. It is incorrect. It's GMT+8 (offset = 480) instead of GMT+9 (offset = 540). There is a bug in bugzilla about it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459184

There are two choices. The first one is to temporarily use Asia/Tokyo. The problem is that the next time the summer/DST changes (29th of March 2009), all the events that you entered after this date will have a wrong time.
The other solution is to manually update the timezone.sqlite database were all Lightning timezones are recorded. It is necessary to patch the VTIMEZONE definition for Perth.
