Outlook Reminder problem

[Guest]

Hi,

When I startup Outlook 2007 on my desktop, I get a message stating "There
was a problem reading one or more of your reminders." So no reminder window.
If I transfer the Outlook data file to my laptop, the reminder window
appears. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
George

Try starting Outlook once with the /cleanreminders switch. If you need help
using Outlook command line switches, look here:

Great suggestion! However I'm sorry to say it didn't work. The same error
message came up after using /cleanreminders. Then I tried using
/cleanroamedprefs and then /cleansniff. Same message.

Try /cleanfreebusy as well. Another question: Did you create a new Outlook
profile for Outlook 2007 or did you reuse a profile from an earlier version?

I just took a look at the list of data files on Account Settings and found my
Personal Folder.pst listed twice (same location.) I removed one and VOILA!
Problem solved. Thanks for your kind attention, Jocelyn.

For others who may have this same problem - I followed this thread and found
the same issue wiht the duplicate .pst files on my system. I removed the
"non-default" file and it solved my problem too.
