Reminders do not show when Vista's Windows Calendar is not running

[Tim Thein]

My reminders are not showing up when Vista's Windows Calendar is not
running. Even after I've turned on the option.

Is anybody else experiencing the same problem? Does anybody know how to fix
this this? Did Microsoft over look this feature during testing?

This does not surprise me and is the behavior I would expect. Very few
program do anything when not running. Put a shortcut to Windows Calendar in
your Startup folder.

Mine used to work when I had the UAC turned off, but when IU turned it back
on, it now only reminds me the following day when I boot up the computer for
the day. I hope there is a fix for it soon.

WRONG! Open Task scheduler. Scroll to the windows calendar folder. Odds are
you'll get a message saying, "The task image is either missing or corrupt."
Reminders run via task scheduler, btw.

Said task image is an XML file. Mine's missing. What I would like is for
some nice kind soul with a working windows calendar to post a copy thereof.

The new compatibility and reliability updates for Vista are supposed to fix
issues with Windows Calendar.

The key phrase being "supposed to". It did not restore or re-create the task
image. I've tried re-creating the task, but I'm not sure how to configure the
triggers or arguments. Anyone?
