I have a situation where users create calendar reminders and when they try to dismiss the default 15 minute reminder, they encounter the following message: 'Cannot turn off the reminder. The function cannot be performed because the message has been changed' It worth noting that my users will only encounter this if they have invited another attendee to the meeting and said attendee has accepted the calendar invite and sent the response.

My Outlook calendar and tasks reminders have gone missing! When I opened Outlook, I started getting this message: "There was a problem reading one or more of your reminders.

Some reminders may not appear. Cannot locate recurrence information for this appointment. Here's what I've tried to fix the problem--and results--so far: 1. Resaved all task reminders. No change. I didn't resave the calendar appointments reminders since there are so many of them. But I'll try that if anyone thinks that might help.

Message 1 disappeared, was replaced by a new one: "Microsoft Office Outlook cannot start the reminder service. Unable to show reminders. Tried a "detect and repair" of MS Office. Still getting Message 2.

Tried that. Started getting Message 1 again. Still getting message 2. Tried a second "detect and repair. Any advice on what my next move should be? Is there a particular Outlook file or files that I can try to replace? Would a reinstall of Outlook over the current files be likely to make things worse? I don't want to mess with my MS Word files if I can avoid it.
