Reminder in Outlook 2010

[allybell1234]

Hi All,

I am new to this forum as also to the computer (technical part). However I am using Outlook from past few months but I am unable to set reminders in it that can display alerts on desktop. Anyone can help me with this? I really need to set this as I forget things quickly and thus want to save them as reminders in outlook.

Please advice me on this.

Thanks & Regards
Ally Bell
