Calendar Reminders do not pop up on top of other application

Aug 18, 2007 3:12AM PDT

I have Vista Home Premium. I like to use my Windows calendar reminders, but they will not show over top of whatever else I'm working on. Instead, the reminder - although blinking - is minimized which means I sometimes do not notice it. Isn't there a way to get reminders to pop up front & center on the screen? Also would be nice if there was a unique sound when reminder is activated so if away from computer, could be alerted by the sound that there is a reminder.

Under file, options I have set up so reminders will show when calendar not running and for sound to be played. Maybe I'm just not within ear shot of computer when the sound is played so that could actually be working. But the reminders do not pop up.
