Cannot get Outlook to work properly

[Brett]

I'm using Outlook 2002. For about 2 months now, I have had several problem
that I cannot remedy. These include:
- When saving a contact, the save as is blank (I receive a pop saying this
will happen)
- Old reminders keep appearing and will not dismiss
- New reminders are not saved (no error message)

I have tried repair, uninstall/reinstall of Outlook, cleanreminders switch,
changing font on reminders, inbox repair tool.

Does any one have suggestions on what may finally fix Outlook?

Thanks,
Brett

Have you tried a new profile?

What exactly do you mean?

Do you mean creating a new Windows profile? No. That would require
reconfiguring all of my software.

Control Panel->Mail Icon->Show Profiles. Create a new one from there.

I open Outlook with the new profile and the reminders seem to be working. I
can set them and see them in the calender.

My Contacts have no names. When I open one and click to "save and close", I
am prompted that the save as field is empty, although it isn't. This is the
same problem as before. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brett
