Default repair corrupt data in outlook calendar- can't open or dismiss

I have a reminder that cannot be opened or dismissed. It says it's 198 weeks
overdue. When I try to open I get a message: Cannot open the item for this
reminder, cannot locate recurrence information for this appointment, data has
become corrupt. When I try to dismiss the message is: cannot turn off this
reminder, may be reminded again. I have been to the "start" date but there
is nothing there to delete. It's affecting my BlackBerry sync. Today I
wasted 3 hours of my life talking to HP tech support who were unable to
assist. Any ideas?

Have you tried starting Outlook one time with the /cleanreminders switch?
