OK, I've tried Time and Chaos, it works OK, but there are some translating difficulties, and it has crashed twice this afternoon, once just because I chose the wrong wallpaper. It deleted the tasks I had written when it crashed. I've also spent 2 hours with Epim and I still have not managed to get a single task to work. Would you mind writing a "dummies guide to making one single entry". It will probably take you three minutes. // Name of message = Pay phone bill Message - Phone bill on the 15th Date and duration- the 15th of every month for the next 8 years. Any time at all, as long as it comes up when I switch on PC. Have to be reminded two days before, as computer is not turned on every day, and sometimes only at night. Preferably with a bell sound once a day. // Sounds so simple, but I can't do it. Either I get thousands of entries , or none at all. And sometimes I press OK and I delete other tasks. Something wrong with the buttons, or the translation or both. Or maybe it's just me ? []'s

I made it tada!!! and it worked :) > >Anyway three pictures: ><http://guysalias.fateback.com/misc/junk/epim/epim-task.htm> Thanks very much for your time. Now after I've done that (it works btw), if I click on the task, it asks me if I want to edit the reminder or the whole series. So I say "the whole series" And up pops the windows you showed in your first picture. Note that the reminder(picture number two) has lost the custom message , is no longer marked and defaults to one minute. I thought it had forgotten the reminder, but putting clock forwards, I still get the reminder, but can no longer edit it. Must be a bug. I thought something was deleting it, but it must still be in the database somewhere. I will look for a previous version, and see if it is a bug. TY

Uk's Kalander works great, is small and doesn't eat resources. Then use a simple database or spreadsheet for contacts.

Reminder, Repeat task > >> Preferably with a bell >> sound once a day. > >I think you'll have to make this a separate (repeat) task. Yes, once it has reminded you it is not possible to remind again without editing. BTW, Essential PIM portable can be had by copying the download url from the homepage, and changing the 3 for a 2 It is half the size, and has everything I need. http://www.astonsoft.com/downloads/essentialpim/essentialpimport2.zip :) You get version 2.81 http://www.softpedia.com/progChangelog/EssentialPIM-Free-Portable-Changelog-79217.html > >EssentialPIM can run at startup, either by having a shortcut in the >Windows startup folder or through 'Tools' - 'Options' - 'General'. Yep, I saw that TY There is a PDF for download on the site http://www.essentialpim.com/help/free/epim.pdf Which covers the free version > >Yrrah Tried Kalender too. It defaulted to Portuguese. It is a very easy organizer, but I might stick to Epim as it has a contact manager adapted to Brazilian post codes.
