Outlook alert

I cannot find help on this. The calendar does not pop up
to alert me of a scheduled event. Do I have to keep the
calendar minimized in order for it to pop up and alert me
to a scheduled event? I have properly entered all
events, checked all the proper boxes for alerting: number
of days ahead, recurrance, starting and ending times,
etc., then saved and closed.
I hope someone can help me on this.
Thanks a bunch.

Is this the default Calendar folder in your default mail store (the set
of folders where your mail is delivered)? That's the only Calendar that
reminders will fire from...they won't fire from any additional Calendar
folders you may have created, or from a Calendar folder in a mailbox or
set of personal folders that isn't your default mail store.

When you look at the Outlook folder list (View | Folder List), you may
see more than one set of Personal Folders. If you're using Outlook for
mail, you will only have one of these Personal Folders files set up to
receive your mail in its Inbox. That set of folders is known as your
default mail store. Only the Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks
folders in that set of folders can successfully use reminders. Are you
saying that you don't use Outlook for mail at all? Do you have more
than one set of Personal Folders in use?
