Windows Calendar Replacement With Notification Other Than Email
Jul 16, 2011
I do not understand MS making Vista's Windows Calendar unavailable in Windows7. Live only provides for an email notification, where Windows Calendar reminded me at various time/date setable stages (eg. weeks to hours) with pop-up notifications on my desktop, as I do not continuously keep mail on my desktop and do not check my email continuously. I require various setable time/date notifications to pop-up on my desktop (eg. "in an hour I need to get ready for my doctor's appointment"). I don't wish to have my telephone wake-up service to do the job my Vista Windows Calendar used to do and I do not wish to have to revert to Windows Vista to obtain what I used to have. Some Windows7 programmer got ahead of him/herself and took away a useful tool and I want it back! Is there a method for installing Vista's Windows Calendar on Windows7 and retain the pop-up notifications, or is there another program (even at a charge) available the provides setable time/day/week pop-up notifications on the desktop?

Is there a way or an add-in that allows my to automatically create calender events from dates that appear in an email, similar to how the mail app on the iphone automatically scans for dates, times and places and creates an event when we click on the dates.

I get a sound exactly like email notification every hour. I have turned off every possible source of notification sounds I can locate, but cannot stop this hourly chime. I have noticed that rec task is scheduled hourly in task scheduler but cannot fine any indication that it has a notification button. I can, and do, mute the speakers for most of the day but when listening to audio/movies the sound comes through the speakers loud and clear.

Is it possible to have an email notification on the logon screen?My wife & I share a PC so we have 2 logon icons on the opening screen - for he & me.Under XP you'd get a notification that email was waiting. I'm not bothered, but my wife would like that so she can just glance at the logon screen without logging on to see if there is email for her.

I've used a wav file from SNL ("Candy Gram") to announce the receipt of e-mails, in Win-98, Win2K, and XP. Now, when I substitute this file for use as my mail notification in Win-7, it works fine, once, and then stops. It then defaults to the original sound.

I have a number of Windows 7 laptops that have to have automatic timeouts that lock the screen. However, when the screen locks, I no longer am able to hear the Windows 7 email notification sound from outlook when exchange sends it a message and have no notification of new emails. Is there a way to force Windows 7 to display this information. I know it is possible in Windows 8, but I can't find anything on Windows 7.

I don't remember the exact date, but before, whenever I startup my laptop, I always have the Dolby notification icon in the bottom right. But now, I don't know what I did, the notification icon never appears for Dolby. The settings for that icon is set to "Show" but whenever I click on it again, it says "This notification is currently not active" Eventhough, I'm pretty sure it's on.I tried reinstalling, but I keep getting error messages once it's reinstalled. So I have to use System Restore, and this has been driving me nuts...and this keeps going in circles.I think there is something wrong with the registry of this program.When I go to the program location, I have a Dolby Profile Selector, Dolby Profile Editor, and Dolby Profile Launcher...I am so confused now, as I always had the Notification Icon available.I can add Dolby to the Startup Folder, but when turning on the laptop, the entire Dolby profile pops up when Windows 7 boots, and that was not what happened before?

we are using Netmeeting's Remote Desktop Sharing feature to assist us when helping users on our network. It has proven to be a very useful tool that our IT department uses on an almost daily basis. What I like about Netmeeting is it is very easy to set up RDS when I get a new Windows XP (we haven't made the move to Vista) workstation ready to replace one on the "shop floor". Now I'm testing Windows 7 and I was wondering what the concensus (if any) on what to use when the move to Windows 7 is made, as I don't think MS is going to let us slide anymore with XP, for RDS in a mixed environment (XP, Windows 7, Server 2003)?

My HP Elite 8100 PC was giving 5 beeps upon powering up. I suspected the motherboard was at fault so called HP's technical support and they confirmed this. As my product is under warranty they sent me a new motherboard. I fitted it and the PC turned on ok and I saved the new config but it does not boot Windows. It gives me the options to run 'Startup Recovery' which does nothing at all and 'Start Windows Normally' which just loops back to this option screen. I called HP back and they say I shouldn't have had to have done anything else to enable the new motherboard to work so sent me another one and the same thing has happened.

I plan to replace Win 7 HP 64bit with Win 7 Ultimate 64bit on an Asus N53S, a replacement for a laptop that is now trashed and on which the win 7 OEM 64bit version had been installed to replace Win Vista. Is it possible to overcome Win 7 OEM being keyed to one computer MS protocol and if so, how is it done?

1. I have 2 computers - one running Windows 7 Pro x64 (main computer for work and gaming) and the other running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (second computer)
2. Both Windows 7 installations are OEM.
3. The second computer has been sitting dead for close to a year because the motherboard died and I have not really wanted to spend money getting it running until now.
4. The route I am taking is to upgrade the main computer (motherboard, CPU, and RAM) and put the current "main" motherboard, CPU, RAM into the 2nd computer.
Logic would dictate that I ONLY upgrade the 2nd computer and make it the main computer. However, the Main computer has an SSD Hard Drive in it and the 2nd one does not. So, I'd prefer to keep the SSD HD for it's speed. That's why I've chosen this convoluted replacement process. There are other reasons for the convoluted process if you need elaboration let me know.I did see a person ask about upgrading and keeping their license. I'm not sure if Microsoft views reasons for hardware changes due to failure differently. I suppose it's a matter of luck?

I am in the process of upgrading my motherboard and cpu. The problem is that I don't want to reinstall windows 7 fresh. Can I use the repair install option to reinstall windows without losing my programs and data? Basically I need all the drivers and such to reset but not mess with the rest of my stuff.

I was able to get Windows Mail to work on Windows 7 and created a folder for Windows Calendar, put the files there but the program will not execute from Windows Mail. It will run on it's own, but the reminders won't alert me and like I said, it won't run when I click the icon inside Windows Mail.

I understand that in upgrading from Vista to Win 7, I will lose the Vista calendar but I have read that it is still available and works in Win 7 with some tweaking.
Do continuing Windows updates affect the performance?
I will upgrade to Win 7 but not if I lose the Vista calendar. As long as MSFT keeps upgrading Vista, it's worth more to me that the Win 7 OS.

last weekend I was trying to recover the contents of a failed hard drive to a new hard drive using Windows System Repair Disc and Windows System Image.was able to successfully restore the image. Everything is working fine, but here is my question - the original hard drive was 750 GB and the new one is 1TB. After doing the system restore the hard drive properties show the identical size of the failed drive - not the new larger size. The BIOS shows the correct size. Does the Windows System Image set up the new hard drive exactly as the old one, so it will only access the original 750 GB
