reminders out of control

J

Joe Tho

Here is my problem:

SYSTEM:
-w2k, sp4
-outloook 2000, fully updated
-several email accounts

POSSIBLE CAUSE:
-I copied the outlook.pst and then replaced the original with the copy,
to make a defrag work better. I have done this trick many times with
no problems. I check the bit count each time I do it. Everything seemed
fine. Defrag went fine, no errors.


SYMPTOMS:
-about five zillion reminders pop up when I start outlook.

-I now have reminders for everything, where it used to be just for
scheduled appointments. Every new email gets a reminder.

-I can't post anything new to the calendar, but I can read it.

-my contacts LOOK ok, but don't work right ("No email with this address
entry" or something like that).


THINGS I HAVE TRIED ALREADY:
-help--> detect and repair

-scanpst

-deleting the extend.dat file

- /safe and /cleanreminders

-exporting calendar items. It freezes up.

-chkdsk /r

-teeth grinding (this seems to help as much as anything)


Any ideas?

-Thanks, Joe
