From: Bahama mama Bahama on 3 May 2010 18:33 I have a reminder that cannot be opened or dismissed. It says it's 198 weeks overdue. When I try to open I get a message: Cannot open the item for this reminder, cannot locate recurrence information for this appointment, data has become corrupt. When I try to dismiss the message is: cannot turn off this reminder, may be reminded again. I have been to the "start" date but there is nothing there to delete. It's affecting my BlackBerry sync. Today I wasted 3 hours of my life talking to HP tech support who were unable to assist. Any ideas?
