Using Windows 7 with Outlook 2003 on a new computer at work. My task
reminders do not remind me even though I have checked the box and clicked
save. I have used the Run program and typed outlook / cleanreminders but
come up with this error code in a yellow triangle with an ! in it: The
command line argument is not valid. Verify the switch you are using.

Can anyone help me with how to get the reminders to appear at a time that
I
set? Right now I can only view my daily tasks and hope I didn't miss
anything!! Thank you for any help you can offer.
