Reminder window doesn't pop up

[M Skabialka]

When a reminder reaches the time to remind me, I hear a sound, and the
reminders windows flashes on the task bar, but it does not pop up a window
in front of me, whether or not I am using the mouse or keyboard at the time.

Is there a setting for this? How do I make it pop up as it used to on my
older system as I am missing out on these reminders which occur when my back
is turned, or I have stepped awa from my desk?

WinXPPro and Outlook 2003.

Thanks,
Mich

What add-ins do you have running in Outlook? IIRC, one of them, Plaxo I
think, causes reminder windows to pop up behind the active window.

I don't even know how to add an add-in, and haven't installed any software
except pretty standard stuff, office, winzip, acrobat reader, etc...
