Daylight Saving Time Correction for Microsoft Office Outlook Calendars - Help desk guidelines

After nearly 36 hours of wrestling with DST problems in my Outlook calendar I am about to give up and have lost a great deal of respect for Microsoft in the process. The tzmove tool will not install on my system saying I have not set up outlook as default mail program even when I did. Likely the real problem is I don't have a MS mail account and do not intend to get one. Because of that, the instructions above also are not workable for me as they require a MS exchange account. I was only using the calendar function of outlook and that was all I wanted. This whole thing has been made too complicated to users.

If that is not bad enough, I now also have a corrupted SQL server as a resullt of attempts to install microsoft updates last night. Boot message says it is corrupt and I should uninstall SQL server and rerun setup to fix it. It gives no direction on how. I can find no help on how to even tell which version of SQL server I have. I did find instructions on web to manually uninstall but that requires using a Microsoft SQL Server compact disc which did not come with my system and its bundled software. I don't really want to buy one and I don't know what version to get if I do nor if it will work to remove the one on my system... I am more than a little frustrated by all this.

I wish someone could show me an easy way out of the mess.
