Can someone who is Windows savvy help with scheduling software............
....I changed computers recently - oh thank you god - and this computer is a million times better, except for one thing. I had Microsoft Works on the other computer, complete with a scheduling ability that had pop-up reminders and all. Don't have that on this computer so I'm looking for a scheduling software package that I can hopefully try out before I buy it.

Does anyone have any recommendations and/or web sites I can visit for more information.

If at all possible - trying before I buy is very important.

:hug: Thank you for any help you can offer.:grouphug:

not the stripped down express version that ships for free with most windows PC's.

6. Either use MS Office (w/Outlook) for $$$ or try OpenOffice.org for free.
I suggest giving OpenOffice a run first... it reads/writes MS word docs, has a calender/scheduler, spreadsheet, presentation package, etc...
