I’m not a big outlook fan but I have been using it for 3 years now. My office demands it.
I switched from a regular PC to a laptop recently and the Outlook on my laptop will NOT notify me of my appointments. I set the default of 15 minutes using the Tools and Option under Calendar. it is the same version (2004) as the one on my old PC.
No matter what I try my appointments never “pop” up to let me know its time to jump up and go to another meeting. My calendar show the appts. but will not tell me in advance of them.
I don’t think there is a 2004 version. It’s probably 2003. In any case in most versions of Outlook there is an option to display reminders. It’s usually on by default but maybe it got turned off.
Click Tools, Options, Other, Advanced Options, Reminder Options and make sure the “Display the reminder” checkbox is checked.
If that doesn’t work you can also try the clean reminders switch.
Close Outlook.
Click Start, Run and type “outlook /cleanreminders”.
And finally you can recreate your Outlook profile which has been known to fix all kinds of random problems.
