MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / August 2007Reminders do not fire in Outlook 2007.
When i start Outlook 2007 I get the error message "There was a problem reading one or more of your reminders. Some reminders may not appear." My reminders only show up in the To-Do box but no dialog box shows up to alert me of the appointment. What can i try to fix this?

Notice that Bill told you to include a space in front of the /cleanreminders switch and you apparently did not. Also, no need to include the entire path to the outlook image. enter nothing more than exactly what Bill stated. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Brian, Thanks, that caused the program to launch but it did not solve the original problem. The error message about not being able to read reminders still appears when Outlook starts and the reminders do not fire on schedule. Any other things that i can try?

When i go to view l reminders window i it opens and indicates that there are no reminders???

SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I tried the "cleansniff" switch but it did not help. Could this problem have something to do with the fact that i send my data to an Outlook.pst file?

I use Outlook both with and without an Exchange account, and whether the delivery is to the mailbox or to a PST, reminders work. What I'd try at this point is a new mail profile and a new PST, making the new PST the delivery location, then moving the contents of the old PST's folders to the new PST may regenerate the reminders. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I renamed the current pst file, created a new pst file as you suggested and opened Outlook. I got the same error message even though there were no reminders or appointments in the new file. Do you have any other suggestions or is it time to pay the price to have MS fix it for me?

Brian, I created a new profile again and it worked! Thanks for all the help. SignatureHarry > I renamed the current pst file, created a new pst file as you suggested and > opened Outlook.

But did you start with a NEW mail profile? Your description does not indicate you did. Control Panel>Mail>Show Profiles>Add creates a new mail profile. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
