SYMPTOMS
When attempting to start Microsoft Outlook 97, you may get the following error message:

Cannot start the reminder services. Unable to show reminders. The file .pst could not be accessed because another workstation has modified it. Close then restart all mail enabled applications.



CAUSE
Either a corrupted service in the profile or too many services in the profile may cause this problem.



RESOLUTION
Create a new profile and add the services back one at a time, testing between each.
