Thank you for providing answers to my questions. Try using this command line switch to see if your reminders can begin to act in a more normal capacity.

Windows Vista/7:

• Click Start.
• Click All Programs.
• Click Accessories.
• Click Run.
• Enter the following in the Run dialog box (with quotations):
  "c:\program files\microsoft office\office14\Outlook.exe" /Commandswitch
  
  Note: For 32-bit versions of Outlook running on 64-bit Operating Systems, you will enter the following (with quotations):
  "c:\program files (x86)\microsoft office\office14\Outlook.exe" /Commandswitch
• Click OK.

- /cleanreminders = Clears and regenerates schedule reminders.


Hope this helps.
