Reminders not firing - Windows 7

[Matt Baker]

I did a fresh install of Windows 7, then installed Outlook.

My appointment reminders aren't firing. Nothing appears to happen at all.

How can I get the old functionality back, where a window would pop up
reminding me of the appointment?

Outlook version? In what folder are you placing the items with reminders?
Try starting Outlook once with the /cleanreminders command switch.
