Oh! Diane,
I set a reminder in Windows calender, for 19:30, with a reminder 2 hrs
before (17:30) and ticked the box "to allow reminders even when "Calender"
was closed.
Result by 17:45...nothing; when I opened "Calender" of course, it "bonged"
immediately (helpful)!
Whilst I accept the logic of VanguardLH, I cannot understand why there is a
tick box for a feature that clearly will not work!
With my old XP/worksSuite programme, there was always an icon in the Sys
Tray, "WcalRem", or something like it, and this did the business without any
fuss, and was 100% reliable!
The Icon was associated with a completely seperate programme which resided
in my "Start-up" folder, but I cannot find an equivalent folder in Vista.
