Help cannot dismiss reminders, or open, or anything else

[Guest]

I have several reminders that cannot be turned off. They are from a public
folder calendar on our Exchange system, and they are now popping every 5 - 10
minutes. Some are 45 weeks old. When I attempt to dismiss them, I get the
message "Cannot turn off the reminder. You may be reminded again. One or
more parameter values are invalid." Some of the items are still on the
public calendar, some are not. They can't be opened or accessed in anyway.

Until I went to Outlook 2003, I only got the reminders when working offline.
Now, it is every 5 minutes. HELP! How do we get rid of these?

I was under the impression that public folders can't remind you of anything
without an add-in. Perhaps there's an add-in you have that is misbehaving.

I don't know of any way to access a public folder while working off line.
Have you tried starting Outlook once with the /cleanreminders command line
switch?

Thank you for the response. Responses inline below.

I was under the same impression, however the only place these appointements
have been on is a public calendar. We have no add-ins at our company, our
guys barely know Exchange.

Yep, tried that, it didn't work. I'm backing up my inbox now, I'm going to
just have them give me a new mailbox, I think.
