Default duplicate reminders

I am running XP Pro on both my work and home PC's. I have been using active
sync to sync my smart phone with Outlook (Office 2007 not sure which version)
at work for quite some time.
I recently purchased Office Pro 2007 for home and began syncing with this
'home' PC too. I have been noticing that when my reminders show up (for
appointments) they are often duplicated.
Also, annoying is the fact that when the reminders pop up I 'dismiss' them,
and within minutes they pop up again. Is there a setting I need to change?
What's causing this? For example- there is one that poped up a few minutes
ago for an appointment in 5 day, my reminder is set for 5 minutes before
start. It has now poped up 3 times while writting this.
Please help!

Default duplicate reminders

Did you try restarting Outlook with the /cleanreminders switch?
See http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/switches.htm if you need help using
switches.

Yes, I tried that and thought it worked until this morning when I got another
duplicate reminder.

Default duplicate reminders

The link says to use the path Outlook /cleanreminders another similar post I
saw says to use Outllo.exe /cleanreminders. I've used both now, and still get
duplicate reminders simultaneously and there is only one entry in the
calendar. Still stumped!

Try displaying your calendar in a table view and then adding the Reminders
column to the table. Group by that column so all entries with reminders are
collected together (so you can see them easier) and see if you can locate the
errant entry.

Brian- Sorry, Ican't figure out how to do what you are suggesting. Another
annoying problem is that I get reminders every 5 minutes. I've tried to
change it to 15 minutes and it goes back to 5 minute reminders.
