Outlook crash when clicking dismiss in reminder/double clicking ca

[MadMopar]

Outlook 2007 closes or restarts when I click dismiss on a reminder popup or
when I double click an item in my calendar. It does this 95% + of the time.
I don't seem to have this problem with e-mail or contacts.

Any help?

Thanks

I would suggest the following:

1) Run scanpst.exe against your PST file if you're using one.
2) Open Outlook using the /cleanreminders switch: Start > Run > outlook.exe
/cleanreminders.

Please post back and let me know how you made out or if you need further
instructions.

Where is this scanpst.exe program. I'm running Vista and I couldn't locate
it with search.

Thanks

C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12 (for details go to
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/77).

The scanpst seems to have made it a little better. I'm beginning to think
this happens when I try opening a calendar item while it's downloading e-mail.

What happens when I run the cleanremiders switch? does it clear all the
remiders in the calendar or just clean up duplicates?

Thanks

It clears and regenerates the reminders. For a good listing of Outlook
switches:

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this.

I have run the scanpst and fix errors. I still got intermittent crashes.
scanpst would fix errors found after each crash.

I just ran the /cleanreminders. Here's to hoping that fixed it.

I will let you know.

Thanks
