Whenever I start Outlook I get the "There was a problem reading one or more
of your reminders..." message. I have run Outlook.exe with /cleanreminders
and /resetfolders and the problem remains. I use Intellisync to synchronize
my Cingular Blackberry with Outlook and I have a feeling it has currupted my
reminders file. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem and start getting
reminders again?

I believe I have seen that with a corrupted appointment.  You might change
your calendar view to By Category, then go through and start opening each of
your appointments individually.  When you get to the corrupted appointment,
it should give the error again.  Delete that appointment and try recreating
it.

Good luck!

tbgg, you are a genious!  Just as you suggested I went through the
appoinments between the dates that the error message appeared and sure enough
when I clicked on the one that was causing the problem, I got the error
message.  In case anyone has the same problem here are the exact steps to
follow:

1. Bring up your Calendar.
2. Click on "View" at the top of the window.
3. Click on "Arrange By".
4. Click on "Current View".
5. Click on "By Category".
6. Click on all the reminders within the dates that you started having the
problem.  When you get the one that brings up the Error Message, delete it  
(you might want to write it down if you want to re-enter the reminder).  You
might have more than one message causing the problem so I would continue
checking the reminders just in case.
7. When you are done, to bring the view back to normal (normal for me) click
on "View".
8. Click on "Arrange By".
9. Click on "Current View" at the bottom of the menu.
10. Click on "Day/Week/Month" and you should be back to the Default setting.

I hope this helps!  I had this happen twice now and I am surprised that
Microsoft does not have more help on this since it seems to be such an easy
fix when you know how to do it.  Thanks again tbgg! :)

I'm glad to hear those steps helped.  :)

BTW, the customer I have who also had this problem *also* uses Intellisync,
only she syncs a Palm instead of a Blackberry.  So you may well be right that
somehow Intellisync is causing this problem.

I had the exact same issue after doing a sync with a blackberry. This reply
fixed my issue as well!
