outlook 2000 imported setting to win xp pro , now reminders have stopped are there any files I have forgot to import
I have a new machine with xp pro but with my full licence win 2000 office suite brought over from my old scrapped system, I have the old drive as slave and sucessfully imported mail, settings adress book calender etc, but the outlook reminders does not work .
I used my MS Office premium disks to reload office and everything works fine except the reminders in outlook , are there any config files that will still be on my old drive that need bringing in/
the old drive is now set as a slave drive so it is easy to browse and transfer anything I need , but of course this may not be the solution.
Is there any chance the pop up blocker in xp sp2 is having an adverse affect /
The main thing is I get reminders to work again or I'll forget :-)
I have already done numerous searches and been through the options reset and applied the reminders interval closed down the computer , but that did not work.
The reminders are there but they just do not occur , (no pop up or sound, I have even redirected the sound to the default reminder wave but that did not have any effect so it would suggest the reminder pop-up window is just not being called at all
Anyone come across this before?

AFAIK, it should not affect. You may want to disable windows xp inbuilt firewall but that should not have any effect.
So you have all your reminders and everything fine except that reminders donot pop-up to remind you .
After importing the PST from the slave drive, have you tested using a test event to see if it would pop-up.
May be something is corrupted in your PST or some setting is not correct. Check for both..
