Subject: Looking for an alarm program
Date: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 1:11 PM
I am looking for a program that displays personal messages and that I
can use to set alarms. It should allow alarms to be setup up to a year
ahead. Alarms should be activated a specified number of hours in advance of
the appoitment by display of a pre-entered message.
The program should be designed to run continuously. It should start at
system turn on. It should display an icon in the notification area with no
label on the tastkbar. Unlike some other alarm programs (for example
Microsoft Outlook) it should automatically terminate at system shutdown
without asking for operator action or comfirmation.
The task Scheduler would appear to have most of the capabilities I am
looking for. However it has a serious bug and doesn't work. It issues
error
number 0x80070005. I have as yet not figured out the information in the
Knowledge Base concerning how to deal with it. I am therefore looking for
an alternate approach.
