My alerts in Outlook 2002 (XP) work sporadically. I have read *several*
posts on this, but none of them help me resolve the issue for good.
Here are the attempts I've made:
- Made sure my reminder settings are correct in Outlook (they are, as my
alerts do work on occasion)
- Made sure the appointments that aren't alerting me have the reminder
turned on (all of my appointments have the alert set)
- Opened Outlook using the following switches: cleanreminders, resetfolders,
cleanfreebusy (sometimes doing this works, but only temporarily, then
they're back to not working; sometimes doing this has no affect, and the
alerts still do not work)
- Restarted Outlook
- Rebooted system
Anytime I get the alerts working, they may work for a day, or maybe several
days. Then, I'll realize I'm either late for a meeting, or missed it
altogether, and I find out my alerts are back to not working.
As I'm sure you can understand, this is horribly frustrating. The only
pattern I can see, is that it started happening once I had Windows XP put on
my machine. Before, I had Windows 2000, and don't remember ever
experiencing this problem (same version of Office, same service pack).
Please, is there anybody that can offer suggestions, other than what I've
already tried?
Thanks in advance.
