Unable to Dismiss Reminders

I am using Outlook 2002 from the Office XP suite. I have applied all updates.
I am unable to dismiss reminders when the popup reminder/snooze window
appears. The e-mail accounts are POP3 accounts from my ISP. This is happening
on my home PC. I have Windows XP Pro and I am using a limited account (not in
the Admin group). The file system is NTFS and simple file permissions are
off. The only way I have been able to stop the reminders popup is to delete
the item from the calendar. I have verified that the e-mail file (.pst) is in
my Documents and Settings\userid folder. I have checked the permissions on
the .pst and my account has full control. The Outlook permissions appear to
be correct because I can delete e-mail messages, send messages, move messages
to folders, etc. I am not able to see the security tab when I select
properties on any outlook folder from the folder list. I am tired of seeing
these reminders.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
