Outlook doesn't notify me of an appointment

I got this computer with Office 2007 and Vista in Jan 2007. I have had a
number of problems with the system, but he most frustrating is the Calandar
doesn't give me notifications of an appointment. It was like this when I got
it. One time outlook started in safe mode and the notifications started, but
then they went away some time later.

When ever I start Outlook, it tells me "there was problem reading some or
all of your reminders" also a box in the lower left hand corner of outlook
says "the operation failed. An object could not be found.

I tried deleting Outlook and reloading but this did not solve the problem.

I would appreciate any advice someone might have.
 
Bill - I believe it's in Tools>Options>Calendar Options>Planner Options and
you need to check "Show Popup Calendar Details"

It happened to me in Outlook 2003 and that I believe fixed it.

Cheers,

Thanks for the idea. However, it didn't work as the option menu was set
correctly.

Does anyone else have an idea about this?

I do not believe that the settings Nicholas described control what you're
seeing. I believe what he described controls the small popups you can see
when hovering over a calendar entry, not the reminder notifications. Have
you tried starting Outlook once with the /cleanreminders command switch?

Did you try a new mail profile?
