How do I get the 'Reminders' time to stop defaulting to 5 minutes
 

Hello,
the Reminders box with Calendar entries pops up every 5 minutes, and when I
go to change the Reminder time - in the drop down box - it says to click the
Snooze button to activate the change - but nothing happens except it defaults
back to 5 minutes again. It's really irritating, and even my clever computer
savvy friends can't resolve the problem. Help please!

How do I get the 'Reminders' time to stop defaulting to 5 minutes
 

do you mean you can't change the reminder time to default to another time or
even if you choose 1 hr, it still only snoozes for 5 min?

The first is expected behavior - it will always show 5 min in the dropdown
as the default, the second is not. Try running the cleanreminders switch and
see if it helps.
