Default Pop up reminders not "popping up"

I having problems with calendar reminder pop ups, the appear to be working
OK, apart from the fact that they do not "pop up", the just sit on the task
bar, so unless you look at the task bar, you are not aware of any reminders.
I have already tried running "outlook.exe /resetfolders /cleanreminders", but
this has not worked.

Can anyone help?
Thanks

Check your Outlook Settings. In Outlook 2003:

- Open the TOOLS menu
- Select OPTIONS...
- Click on the E-mail Options... button
- Select ADVANCED E-MAIL OPTIONS... button

Notice the options in the box titled "When new items arrive in my Inbox":

- Do you have a check mark next to:
- Display a New Mail Desktop Alert

If not, turn it on. If so, continue by clicking the DESKTOP ALERT
SETTINGS... button. Check the Duration and Transparency settings
for your optimal view.

Hi Nikki
Thanks for your response, unfortunately this has not worked. The problem is
not when new mail arrives, it is when a calendar appointment reminder
appears. When the reminder comes up, it does not pop up in front of other
applications (for example if you are working in Word or Excel), the reminder
just appears on the task bar.

Regards
Jo
