Outlook Reminders

[foxdonut]

I have a PC running XP Pro with Outlook 2003. Since the user got this
PC, he has not been able to get his reminders to pop up. I first
checked the usual suspects...
1) Tools->options->Other->Advanced Options->Reminder Options & Click on
the "display the Reminder check box"...it is enabled
2) I also ran the outlook /cleanreminders, /CleanViews & /CleanFreeBusy
3) On the Outlook>Tools>Options>Preferences tab> deselect (uncheck) the
Default Reminder check box and then click Apply. Redo the operation by
selecting (checking) the same Default Reminder box and click Apply.
4) I also checked to ensure that the Calendar or Task reminder is set
for the primary folder.
This is an Exchange account & it is setup for his Exchange mailbox &
not a PST file.
5) I also ran FaceTime's online spyware scanner & found nothing
6) The reminders are also not popping up in terminal server mode.

Help!

Also I forgot to mention that I exported the items to a PST file,
deleted all the items in Calender & added new items to the calender and
no reminders were popping up. Re-importing to PST to the calender did
not make a change to the reminders.

take a look at the /Cleanreminders command-line switch. Information on it's
use is avaialbe in Help.

Even though I had run /cleanfreebusy before, I ran it again today &
this fixed it.

Thanks for the assist Bill!
