Can you do me a favour? Download MemMaid and install it. Then click the second tab, and select Find Duplicate, and see if any duplicate notifications appear. If so, delete them, and then see if this "automatic turn-on" problem still exists.

You'd need to see which of your appointments are recurring (i.e. appear more than once) - it's really a manual run. It's easier to work off Outlook on your PC if you keep your appointments synchronised.

Downloaded memmaid and it didnt find any duplicates. The machine is still doing the same. I have emailed hp and they advised going into sounds and notifications then selecting reminders. I have done that and deselected everything but to no avail.
Do I now have to send the machine back to hp?
cheers

Nope, but it's really odd that none of the software is doing this. Considered a hard reset?

I am now....my only worry is losing the software I have downloaded onto the Ipaq such as Mastersoft Money and Codewallet. How would I go about this ? :?

Thanks for all your help.........

Are these the full versions or trial versions? If they are the full versions which you purchased over Handango or the like, you can simply redownload it with your valid order number and use the serial number (if relevant) to register the application. If they are trial versions, simply head over to the company's website, download them, and install them just like you would any other program.

I have just done a hard reset and the owner info screen is still appearing.

Been following this and it seems like you might want to check the iPAQ Backup program. Goto Programs > iPAQ Backup > Options > Battery Monitoring. Make sure Enable Battery Monitoring is unchecked. This part of the program monitors the battery but can only do it if the PPC is on so it turns it on every so often. Hope this helps.
