My calendar alarms are not ringing (this is a sudden change, I am guessing
it happened around the time of DST fix). My alarms for tasks still work. I
have a program called SuperAlert which also shows your next alarm and it
does not show an alarm until March 20 but I have several alarms which
theoretically should be set to ring before that date.

Somehow I am guessing there is a screw up in the larm database, but I do not
know how to fix it. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

I generally try the simple things first- have you tried deleting an
appointment that you suspect isn't going to work, and recreate it (don't
cut and paste- delete and recreate.) Then see if your program shows the
new event. (If that works, repeate the process with the other failed
appointments.)

Good luck!

This is a Windows Mobile bug where the notification database gets corrupted.
Fortunately there is a fairly easy fix. Set your timezone to something other
than your local one wait about a minute soft reset, change the setting back
to your local timezone wait 3 minutes soft reset. All should now be well.

The above is what I was told by a vendor and it seems to have worked
