Lost my Windows Calendar Program !?

Due to a hard drive issue I had to reinstall my o/s Windows XP Media Center Edition. After the reinstall I can't find the calendar/reminder program I was using before the reinstall. It was a free-standing calendar program that was not part of Outlook (I know that because I wasn't using Outlook, I was using Outlook Express).

So now I can't figure out what calendar program I was using or where the heck it went. I'd always assumed it was part of Win XP. It was definitely tied in to my system clock. As soon as I booted up my PC, a reminder dialog box would open up if a reminder was past due. I never had to open the program to see reminders.

But checking now on the web it appears only Vista comes with a free standing calendar program, so that couldn't be what I was using, although I noticed it looks a lot like the Vista calendar screen shots I've seen.

If the calendar I was using before wasn't part of Win XP, I figure it must have been part of the MS Office program I was using. The problem is I don't recall which version of Office I had before. I didn't have Office preinstalled on my PC, and I can't find my Office CD.

Does Windows XP Media Center have this program and I'm just not finding it now? Is there any version of MS Office with a free standing calendar program?
 
Yes, and please try to inform us whenever you cross-post (post the same thing in multiple places).
