Attempting to use Outlook 2007 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit

Our IT department is trying to move to newer laptops, and that includes Windows 7 64-bit. Until now I'd been running Windows XP 32-bit. We're still on ZCS 5.0.26, with the 5.0.24 version of the ZCO. I was able to install Outlook and the ZCO, and re-connect to two calendars that I had access to, but there's a third that allows a connection, but won't display any "appointments" no matter what I do. It's a calendar that displays who has time off and is out of the office on what days, controlled by our HR department.
I've tried checking the registry, I tried:

regsvr32 /u /s SharingAddin.dll

regsvr32 /s SharingAddin.dll

I have also gone so far as to uninstall Outlook, uninstall the ZCO, reinstall Outlook, re-apply all patches and updates, and reinstall the ZCO. That didn't help. I revoked my rights from the calendar and restored them, and that didn't do anything either. The only "hint" I'm getting is in the Zimbra Send/Receive Progress - Synchronizing fails with "Unknown failure".
Any ideas? Other than upgrade to ZCS 6 or 7, which is in our plans, but wasn't going to happen just yet....

Best thing you can do since you are not going to upgrade to the latest versions is to enable logging and take a look for errors.

Which logs in particular should I be looking at?

These would be zco logs. Use ZCOLogCtl to enable logging and http logging. But I don't think we support 64 bit with version 5. I think that started in 6. We're now at 7.1. I think it's time to upgrade.

Ah ha! Ok, thanks. Yeah if our database development team quits breaking things, we'll have the time to transfer the mail system off of the XServe and onto a Linux box.
