Outlook 2010 - Task Reminders Erratic Behaviour

[Compbck]

I have just received this message from one of my customers. Can anyone assist with a possible reason for and resolution:

"One other point that, would appear rather minor, however, it causes real frustration concerns the task reminders. In the past task reminders will come up and I would, if I did not need to deal with that task immediately, simply diarise it for 1 day, 4 days, a week whatever? When that reminder came back up again it would simply offer me the same reminder period and I would click snooze. Now, not only does it appear to fall back on to a default 15 minutes but, after I have gone through say, 3 of, what could be 50 task reminders, the task reminder simply appears to reboot itself in the most annoying fashion which means that I need to re-input the snooze period again. It seems that after I have snoozed 3 of the tasks it simply falls back on to default which is extremely annoying given the amount of task reminders that I have. The old Outlook did not do this and I wonder why the new one does? Can anything be done?"

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Regards,

Brian King

Outlook 2010 changed the behavior of reminders. It doesn't appear that this user is experiencing a problem, they just don't like the new way that 2010 handles reminders.

Microsoft is supposed to be addressing this issue in Service Pack 1 though, as a lot of users complained about this change.
