Windows calendar stops running

[Peter in New Zealand]

Whenever I reboot my machine a warning pops up saying that Windows Calendar
has stopped working, and offers to try to find the reason why. I OK that but
never get anything. Calendar runs just fine when I start it from the menu,
and nothing else seems skew wiff. I don't actually need it running in the
background, but I assume it must be wanting to pop a hook out into the world
to run any alarms that are set.

Or I might be talking through a hole in my head.

Appreciate any ideas on this. Vista Home Premium on an Athlon 2.2 Gbyte with
1Gbyte RAM.

Maybe, a more detail message is being dumped in to the Event logs, off of
Control Panel/Admin Tools.

And the only thing the calendar is doing running in the background is to
notify you of a calendar event that you have set. It's not reaching out to
the world to do anything.

Hmm, one could wonder sometimes <grin>

Thanks for the idea - below is the error message in the log - can you
suggest anything? Thanks.

Well, it's not saying anything other than WinCal the Calendar program is
blowing up.

If the 180 days is not up from the activation of Vista, then MS support for
Vista may be able to do something for you.

Gosh, seems like this is quite a wide spread issue. Ah well, with the
help of that thread I've managed to fix it for now. Thank you Mr.
Arnold. As you say so well, Google is indeed our friend.
