Cannot Start Reminder Service

[Joel Leslie]

I keep getting an error message upon starting Outlook2000 in WinXP..."Cannot
start the reminder service. Unable to show reminders." Any suggestions?
Thanks. Joel

Try starting Outlook with the /resetfolders switch.

Start, Run dialog:

outlook.exe /resetfolders

Press Enter and make sure to leave a space before the switch.

Did that, and it did not solve the problem. Thanks Joel

Try starting Outlook with the /CleanReminders switch.

In that case see if another profile works. Create a new profile from
scratch, don't copy an existing one. Try that if Brian's suggestion of
trying the /cleanreminders switch doesn't work.
