Outlook LogoHaving migrated our Exchange server at work to a new machine, several of my employees noticed that the reminder window was no longer popping up to remind them of upcoming appointements, events, meetings, etc.

Luckily there was a nice easy fix:

  1. Quit Outlook
  2. Click Start->Run
  3. Type “outlook /cleanreminders” without the quotes and hit OK.
  4. Outlook will then launch after cleaning any corrupt appointments.
  5. Quit Outlook again.
  6. Click Start->Run
  7. Type “outlook /cleanfreebusy” without the quotes and hit OK.
  8. Outlook will then launch after cleaning any corrupt free/busy slots.
  9. That’s it.

4 of my employees had this problem with Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003. The above fix worked first time for all of them.

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000Had a recent visit to Costco and decided to buy a new wireless mouse. All others I’ve owned have been Logitech (MX1000) but I AM pleasantly surprised with Microsoft one and half the price of Logitech. Not as many configurable buttons as the MX1000 and no charging stand just normal AA batteries but for ~£22 I’m not complaining.
