Outlook 2007 Reminders behaving unpredictably

Hi,

I am having problems using reminders.

Symptoms
I have set a reminder for a contact at 10am today.
It has shown in the reminder window but set for 17:00 and due in 5 hours
(which would be correct for 17:00)
Here is a screen shot showing the discrepancy

Also when I try to create a reminder on a contact where I haven't lready set
one the default date shows as January 4051. If I try to change the date
using the drop down it won't let me. I have to type in a date before it will
allow it to be changed.
Here is a screen shot showing the discrepancy

Thanks,

You didn't mention that you did this...start with the basics: is your
BIOS clock set correctly? Is the Windows clock/date accurate (including
time zone)? Are the date/time stamps correct in your e-mail (sent and
received)? Or is the problem isolated to *only* reminders? Any other
date/time problems with other applications?

Hi Tim,

All clocks and times elsewhere appear to be correct.

This seems isolated to a problem with reminders

Thanks,

Hi Jocelyn,

Thanks for this - I haven't had chance to explore it properly yet but I will
feed back when I do
