Automatic Contact Reminder when copied?

I was using Outlook 2002, and when I changed computers (my new one has
Outlook 2003), I decided what I'd do is copy my old .PST over to the nex
computer and set up Outlook 2003 to recognize the old PST file as well, so I
could then transfer the contents of the old PST file into the new one,
finally disacociating the old on and deleting it. This worked well up until I
tried to copy of my contacts. For some reason, the move from an older PST
file to a newer one has caused each and every contact to have some sort of
Follow-up reminder attatched, so that each time I move or save any given
contact a reminder pops up saying that I"m supposed to follow up on it. None
of the contacts are actually flagged, and when I move my contacts to a
different Contact folder, which I have done now to temporarily get rid of
those annoying reminders, the problem does seem to go away, which makes me
think it has something to do with Contacts folder itself. Of course, I would
love to find a permanent solution, as keeping contacts in a separate folder
makes them more difficult to access from the Address Book and makes them
invisible to ActiveSync and my PocketPC. Any suggestions?
 
See if starting Outlook once with the /cleanreminders switch added to the
command path helps.
Use of this switch can be found by searching Help for "command-line
switches" (without the quotes).
 
Well, I think that might have sort have fixed the problem, but.... I ran
Outlook with the comand switch you suggested, and now when I boot up Outlook
it says that it can't load the reminder service at all. Any suggestions?
