edit overdue calendar entry -removes reminder & sets recurrence

[ruudi bear]

I have just got a new pc and imported my old .pst to the new computer (Using
Outlook2003).

On my old pc - when I edited an overdue reminder in the reminders list, if I
saved and closed, the reminder would stay in the reminders list until snoozed
or dismissed.

On this pc. If I edit the overdue reminder -on save and close it will
dismiss it automatically from the reminders list and add an ongoing
recurrence.

I have to go back into the calendar entry, remove the occurrence it has set,
save it and then go back in a second time to retick the reminder period. If
this was previously set as a recurring event - I lose all previous and future
recurrences by doing this

Any ideas?

Thanks

Yes it's dell with media direct - although I haven't activated the media
direct yet.
I'm no so technical and want to check - the article refers to Outlook 2007 -
will I be ok as mine is Outlook 2003. Do you know if removal of this affect
any other programs?

Many thanks

oh, and I have no idea if it will affect other programs (it should not) as I
don't have a dell with it installed. Based on what I know, the add-in just
supplies media direct with appointment info so you can see your calendar
when the computer not booted into windows.
