I tried to click on the link above to the VueMinder Forum. My thread is gone! I was polite about my problems because I was seeking a solution. I didn't bash the Calendar product. Not good!

David: I will look into Google more. Thanks for mentioning it. I do use Google SketchUp a lot just for fun. There is a lot out there offered by Google. K

The forum at VueMinder is trying to blame Paint.Net. http://www.vueminder...80&p=2809#p2809 My response to this was: "That is very strange because I have been using Paint.Net for a few years now. I often have it open with multiple (3 or more) large photo images (over 3000 KB each), MS word, and other applications open. (I have to turn off VueMinder Calendar to do this.) I never had any problems until I started using VueMinder Calendar." My experience shows differently.

Hmm... I just found "Efficient Reminder Free" at CNET downloads. http://download.cnet.com/Efficient-Reminder-Free/3000-2124_4-10921373.html?tag=mncol;3

David: I did look into Google Calendar Offline. I think I need Chrome, Google Calendar and some other things to get reminders. I think I need something called "Gears" and some other add-on. I may look into that option. K

Thanks, Jim. I was just posting a reply and read your suggestion. I will definitely look at that link. K

Does anyone here use VueMinder Calendar? (I found the Windows calendar to be unreliable.) I am having problems when I run Paint.Net and this Calendar program. I don't have anything else running besides those two programs. The problem is that, when I use Paint.Net with the Calendar program running, Paint.Net "sticks" - That is, there is about a ten to fifteen second delay when I try to do anything: Select a tool or menu, perform a function from one of the menus, etc. If I save after I do anything in Paint.Net it seems to help. If I exit the Calendar I don't have the problem. This tells me it might be a memory problem; but, I am just guessing. I have to turn off the Calendar to get things done in Paint.Net. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Is there another free calendar program out there that I can try? I am running MS Vista on a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop. I installed VueMInder Calendar a few months ago. I have 2 GB of memory and I don't run any other program except Paint.Net. The calendar runs in the background. K
