I didnot have the starting problem either, and all was well with my outlook 2 google 2 gpe (via erminig) until I added a us holidays calendar from icalshare.com into outlook.

It appears there is an erminig issue with how it imports the data from google.

Holidays are correct in outlook, and google - but my GPE has memorial day on saturday 5/31 (not the 26th), and fathers day on 6/19 (not on 6/15) and the like. Odd thing - Flag day 6/14 is correct...

Ideas?
