Look at the link and your see english.

But if you go here it is not.

But see this page.

9. Delay before image writting. I may need to change the number because the page was so long so that may be why I did not see it all from the one site.

"Remind Me Please" is a good n' simple reminder/task program that can load upon start-up. *Hope no metioned this one like the last one I mentioned - I did the "search".*

Do you use sounds in this application. If so, will you tell me how they work? I seem to be having difficulty getting any sounds to work properly. Thanks.

If you are going to list sites actually first pointed out by Kim Komando, then you ought to mention that, give credit where credit is due. Especially if you copy the exact same words that she used in her daily "Cool Site" tip.

In her tips she includes the note:
"Interested in reprinting content from my Newsletter, Tip of the Day, Cool Site of the Day, News of the Day or Web site? Read the Reprint Rules and fill out my online request form:
www.komando.com/reprint.asp"

Some members of this board may not be aware of the very useful site made by Kim, and the daily tips that you can have emailed to you, by putting yourself on her mailing lists (she promises she does not sell her lists). She sends out daily tips and cool sites, and other things.

If you are interested in what she has to say, just Google her name to locate her site.

Hi John.

Yes, I do use the sound for the reminder. Personally I don't perfer the wav file they provided. So I use one of the stock Window wav files. When developing a new reminder, I make sure the proper boxes are checked and the layer command is checked for "all layers". Minimize so the program set in the task tray. One of the downfalls is this program, like the "other" freeware reminder programs I've tried, never nails it on the head. In other words, the reminder will pop up 30 to 50 seconds late. But, it does work!

Have a look at Ricolmer, I have used this freeware program for a long time. It is easy to use, sits in the systray and pops up on time.

Thanks, Doc Holliday and jadag for responses. I finally gave up on it and found a program which I really like - and it is free. If anyone is interested, it is VERY user friendly.

Thanks again for the answers - but think I will stick with Multi Reminder.

Just found out about the site so I don't know anymore then you do.
But says ShinyFeet Photo Gallery is still in Beta so I would not install anything but maybe you do not have to install anything and that part of there site is just beta.
