Reminders not Popping Up 2

[prizice24]

My reminders have not been popping up since about last week or so. Neither my tasks nor calendar reminders have been popping up at all lately.

All of them should be popping up when they come due – I’m guessing I must have changed some setting around or accidentally clicked something but I do not recall doing so.


Does anyone know how I can get this back to normal? I assume its just a simple click of a button.

I forgot to mention that I use Microsoft Outlook 2003.

Thanks

Tools ->options. On the Preferences tab make sure that your Calendar default reminder is checked and a time entered.

Cheers.

Thanks cmeagan656, but the Calendar default reminder was already checked and the problem remains. Any other ideas?? I live and die by these reminders.

Thanks,

Did you try starting Outlook using the /cleanreminders switch?

Where do i find the /cleanreminders switch?

Not that kind of switch.
Close Outlook. Open a command prompt and cd to your Microsoft Office directory (or whatever directory contains the Outlook.exe executable file). Once there, at the prompt type:

Outlook /cleanreminders

This will start Outlook and at the same time clean up and regenerate all your reminders.
