Reminders are not displayed for Annual Events or Recurring Appointments.  
Reminders display for the same items if recurring is removed.  There are no
error messages.  I have used the following command line switches multiple
times, but there is no effect.  "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office11\outlook.exe" /Cleanreminders /cleanfreebusy /resetfolders

I have set up birthdays using Microsoft training online which indicates that
reminders will be displayed for recurring items.  I have spent hours reading
forums.  I have tried rebooting, deleting and recreating items, creating past
and future items.

I am using Outlook 2003 with  
WindowsXP Media Center Edition Version 5.1
(Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_qfe.070227-2300 : Service Pack 2)

What could be wrong?  I am exhausted.

Using multiple switches is broken in many cases so try each one separately.

Do you have any addins installed? If it's a Dell with MediaDirect, disable
the outlook setup addin from cyberlink.

Tried each switch separately with no luck.
I have a Dell XPS 400 desktop.  Could not find "outlook setup addin" or
MediaDirect.  I disabled iTunes addin and rebooted.  Still no luck.  No other
addins found.
