Though tasks appear in the "Tasks" folder and on the "Outlook Today" views,
they don't show up on the "Calendar" view in the To Do Bar (right side) or the Tasks strip (bottom center, under the appointments calendar). Have already tried enabling the "Display reminders and tasks from this folder in the To Do Bar" option in the Properties for the Personal Folder that contains everything (what they tell you to do to .pst files to get tasks to show up in To Do and to enable reminders for them); didn't work, despite several attempts that included closing Outlook each time between turning the option on and off. Also tried doing an install repair to Outlook, followed by a reboot...but nada. I'm running 'Vista Ultimate' on an HP Pavilion Entertainment notebook with AMD Turion 64x2 processor, and using data imported from my Outlook 2003 version. Any help would most certainly be appreciated! |

I have the same problem so I am watching this space with interest. So far
you seem to have hit a dry well?

Yep, I still have the problem! I've already missed a number of work-critical
deadlines because the reminder alarms aren't happening! So far, no answers from this post...not sure if that's because nobody else has the problem (except you and me), they have it but haven't fixed it, or no one reads these posts. I'm planning to contact MS tech for help in the next day or two when I have enough time to sit down and wait on hold for a half hour. If I get the answer, I'll post it here for you and any others with the same malady. Thanks for adding your voice! "Barrie" wrote: I have the same problem so I am watching this space with interest.

I just spent a couple of hours on the phone to India about this and they have
solved my problem. In the end, I had to create a new Profile. This involved the following as far as I can remember: Go to Start|Outlook and right click on that icon. Select Properties Note down all (emphasize all) the properties for your current Outlook account including those under the Advanced Tab Select Change Profiles Create a new profile and work through the settings, plugging in your old settings. Set Outlook up to open with the new profile When you open the new profile you then go to File | Import and Export and import your old pst file data. In my case that restored the whole thing to fully function. I hope this helps. "JokesterGuy" wrote: Yep, I still have the problem!

Ah, THERE you are. Bryan. :-) Yes, that is what I should have said - I was
just trying to indicate what we did from memory, obviously addled.

Thanks, Barrie (and Brian)! I haven't had a chance in the past few days to
sit down and attempt this fix, but I'm looking forward to doing so soon. If it worked for you, then I'm guessing it will do the trick for me, too. I'll post back here (hopefully within the next 5-7 days) to let you know how it went. Sharing the remedy that you spent several hours getting is greatly appreciated! |
