I must be doing something wrong when I click the checkbox to set the alarm
for a reminder. Can someone please point me to a web site that explains all
this to total newbies? TIA.

In Peace,

What's happening when you choose a reminder now? Is Outlook running at the
time you expect the reminder to appear?
 
I open Outlook, click on calendar, open a New Appointment, type in a subject,
for example let's say "alarm test", then set the times, let's say for start,
I'd set it for five minutes from what the clock on my computer shows and set
the end time for 8 minutes from what the clock on my computer displays, go to
the box between the bell icon and the word Reminder and click it so a
check-mark appears, and finally click "Save and Close". A few minutes pass
while I am attending to some other task, and no alarm is sounded. I have
checked my speakers and they are turned on and operating; I get the windows
start-up tones as well as incoming email alerts, and my Office Assistant
sounds are working also.
 
What are you setting the reminder time to? If it's anything more than a
minute or two (based on your example) the reminder probably won't fire since
it's actually closer to the start time than that
 
Okay, I have tried setting a reminder on an appointment for tomorrow morning;
I will see what happens then.

Thank you much.
