Howdy everyone!

I have been having two distinct problems with Entourage, one of which I have
had since I installed it over 2 years ago, the other since I upgraded to
Panther 10.3.

1. First issue - I have the default calendar reminder set to 2 hours, yet
every time I set a reminder, it still wants to do it 24 hours, or better
stated, 1 day before the event. My prefs show it as 2 hours, I have
installed it three times, and I can't seem to get rid of this small little
bug. Any ideas and/or suggestions? Two clean system installs as well.

2. Second issue - Ever since I UG to 10.3, I can no longer just grab a
folder and drag it onto Entourage and have it compress and attach itself to
the newly generated e-mail message. I get an error (see attached) stating
that I need to have Aladdin Systems Stuffit software installed. Well I do
have it installed, the latest and greatest as a matter of fact 8.1. I have
tried to reinstall the Stuffit software as well.


I am a pretty sharp guy, I have done most of the obvious, but maybe I have
overlooked something. If anyone could PLEASE help me with these two little
issues, I would be most grateful, thanks!

I have a G4 1.4, 1GB RAM, OS 10.3

That's only when you choosed the "Monthly" display. Set it to "weekly" or
"Daily" and it'll follow your setting. Don't know why.

I don't have Panther. But I have read of problems with Stuffit 8... still I
couldn't say more about it.

Ah, interesting, thanks! I will give this a shot.
