Reminder stops working!

[SolSie]

I just realized last couple of days my reminder just stops working. I have all my settings checked? Has anybody experienced this?
X50v/WM5

I sometimes experience this, but I thought it was a compatibility issue with iLauncher's meter icon in the notification area.

I've had it happen twice since upgrading to A04 w/an X51v. A hard reset fixed it both times.

It appears this is a long standing CE/PPC/WM issue which M$ refuses to acknowledge exists. Pocket Informant 2005 has a utility to restore them which the documentation says might work. It didn't in either of my instances. I experienced it with my my first foray into the PocketPC world, an iPaq 3800, and remember, upon returning to the Palm world, the surprise when it beeped the first time. I'd forgotten that PDAs did that.

I have communicated this issue to Dell, and was told I'm not the only one to experience it. You aren't either ...

It happened to me too once. The only solution I found was too hard reboot. If anyone know any better solution or at least the cause of the behaviour, please post it here.

'AlarmToday' has a setting to 'fix this' too. AT is sortof ppc2003 software, for example no VGA graphics yet though. This might mean any 'tweak-like' fixes it has probably won't work, but It is also running a parallel timekeeping system which stands a much better chance to detect any OS alarm bugs than you do.

Perhaps give it a shot, so far I can heartily reccommend it, since it has 2 key features (key for me, anyway):

1/ It has volume control independent of the system volume, so it can set volume to 'very loud' even if you have turned your system down to mute.
2/ It has full integration with the native alarm applications. If you want musical alarms then it uses alarmtoday's own system, but regular alarms will show up in your other apps too, and alarms made by regular apps will be 'enhanced' (i.e. the volume thing).
