Reminders only work if not recurring

[PCGirl]

Reminders are not displayed for Annual Events or Recurring Appointments.
Reminders display for the same items if recurring is removed. There are no
error messages. I have used the following command line switches multiple
times, but there is no effect. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office11\outlook.exe" /Cleanreminders /cleanfreebusy /resetfolders

I have set up birthdays using Microsoft training online which indicates that
reminders will be displayed for recurring items. I have spent hours reading
forums. I have tried rebooting, deleting and recreating items, creating past
and future items.

I am using Outlook 2003 with
WindowsXP Media Center Edition Version 5.1
(Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_qfe.070227-2300 : Service Pack 2)


What could be wrong? I am exhausted.

Using multiple switches is broken in many cases so try each one separately.

Do you have any addins installed? If it's a Dell with MediaDirect, disable
the outlook setup addin from cyberlink.

Tried each switch separately with no luck.
I have a Dell XPS 400 desktop. Could not find "outlook setup addin" or
MediaDirect. I disabled iTunes addin and rebooted. Still no luck. No other
addins found.
