I have many calendar items like birthdays & anniversaries set up with
recurrances and reminders, but when I open Outlook (MS Office Professional
2003) the following 2 messages pop up:
The first pops up within the open Outlook window: "There was a problem
reading one or more of your reminders. Some reminders may not appear. Cannot
locate recurrance information for this appointment."
The second pops up in the taskbar: "The operation failed."
I've double checked the appointment & reminder settings, and looked through
myriad help files, but can't figure out why they are failing to appear.

Try starting Outlook once with the /cleanreminders command line switch.
