Duplicate Display of Reminders

[Rev''''d Sue]

I have had to reinstall my whole hard drive. since doing so my reminders are
appearing twice over in Outlook 2007. However, when i delete one the second
automatically deletes. How can i resolve this irritation?

How did you restore your data after reinstalling?
The behavior you describe is usually the result of overwriting pst-files
which is not a proper method of restoring. Does your message store show up
twice now as well in Outlook?

You probably now have corrupted your mail profile. For instruction on how to
recreate it and restore your data see;

It is a new hard drive. I copied the Outlook.pst and Outlook backup.pst from
my old drive. when you say messages do you mean mail messages? these are not
all duplicated.

I am using MS Outlook 2007, and the instructions on the first link that you
gave me says just to go into Data MAnagement and select the correct default
..pst which i have done. that doesn;t solve the problem.

I copied the Outlook.pst and Outlook backup.pst from

my old drive.

Did you overwrite the existing outlook.pst in that process?

The steps you are describing from the link is only a final step. Did you
recreate the mail profile as well?

I do still have the .pst from Tuesday last week, but I have added other
things to my Outlook since getting a new hard drive on Friday, so would
prefer not to go back to that. i did recreate the mail profile. I also have a
Blackberry which linked to Outlook which i have also kept up to date - apart
from some new Calendar items which i have added. i am waiting for a new CD
from Blackberry to do a sync because the original CD got damaged during the
dramas of the last week. so i guess i could do something with all of that?
