My outlook profile has been recreated ie I have a new profile, it took less
than 5 minutes. All my settings remained the same, and I'm receiving reminders now.

Ken,
Below you wrote, "If you use a PDA and synch software make sure you are using the latest version. Some of that stuff synchs the hidden Reminders folder and ends up corrupting it." I am using Intellisync to sync my Blackberry with Outlook, I have run Outlook with /cleanreminders and /resetfolders and I still get the "There was a problem reading one or more of your reminders..." message when I start Outlook. If Intellisync has corrupted my Reminders folder how do I fix it? "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: Did you get any errors? If no errors then you might have a corrupted profile. Another possibility is if you are using a PDA and synching with Outlook. You can create a new Outlook profile from scratch and see if that works. If you use a PDA and synch software make sure you are using the latest version. Some of that stuff synchs the hidden Reminders folder and ends up corrupting it. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Scott" wrote in message ... Ken, I am having the same problems as Bob. I typed the link in the dialog box but it did not fix the problem. Am I doing something wrong. |

If those switches don't work and a new profile doesn't work and this keeps
happening I'd suggest using different synch software. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "BarleySystems" wrote in message ...

Based on your response below I am assuming that the only solution, when PDA
software corrupts your reminders folder and /cleanreminders does not work, is to create a new profile? I did that and it worked. Thanks It is a shame that my PDA has caused me to have to create a new profile and import all of my PST files, but at least now it works. Thanks again "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: If those switches don't work and a new profile doesn't work and this keeps happening I'd suggest using different synch software. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "BarleySystems" wrote in message ...

Creating a new profile is a fix for many things, not just this. If
/cleanreminders doesn't work and /resetfolders doesn't work the next steps usually are to run Scanpst.exe (Inbox repair tool) and if that doesn't help then to create a new profile. If I was using any badly written software that corrupted things regularly I'd uninstall it and use something else. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "BarleySystems" wrote in message ...

Hello, your solution workd I think for part of the problem, which was
reminders would not hold flagged items. Now I need to insert in the run field the correct/previoud string so that it will open without an error message on the switch. What do I type to solve this?

A comment...I have been having the same problem since applying one of the Windows updates (not sure which one). But I tried this and it worked!!! I found it best to simply copy the directions (outlook.exe /resetfolders /cleanreminders) and paste into the Run dialog. What a relief! But what caused this? |

I'm not sure I understand your question.
Do you mean how to enter both switches? Just open Start, Run and in that dialog enter the following, without the quotes but with the spaces before the switches: "outlook.exe /resetfolders /cleanreminders" Then press the Enter key. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "jagr" wrote in message ...
