Mobility Site - View Single Post - No Reminders after upgrading to WM5 on Dell Axim X50v?

Thank you for the reply.

I am able to sync via ActiveSync (4.1.0) and my tasks, contacts, calendar, and everything else sync successfully. I can see the calendar items on my PDA's calendar and Today screen. If I edit a calendar event, I see that the reminder is set (15 minutes).

I use SPB Softwarehouse's SPB Diary program on my Today screen and I see the little yellow reminder icon, too. Everything LOOKS like the reminder should happen; it just never does.

When I purchased this PDA several months ago, it came with the previous version of the Windows mobile OS installed. Several weeks ago, I received the Windows Mobile 5 upgrade CDs from Dell, which I installed a few days ago. Prior to that upgrade, the reminders were working extremely reliably -- the alarms would trigger when they were supposed to. Since the upgrade, it has never worked. I've tried soft-resetting, hard-resetting and re-installing, and nothing seems to be working.

I run SPB Pocket Plus, SPB Diary, and Agenda Fusion, all updated versions that work with WM5.
