Hey all,
I've got a strange situation with my i-mate device.
I used to have an alarm, set to 23:00, on a daily basis. A couple of days ago I didn't need it anymore, so i've canceled it (The time was set to the original 06:00 and the checkbox was cleared). The strange thing is that it keeps alerting me every 23:00.
Have you any idea?
Thanks.

Do you have any other alarm softwares installed on your unit...that could be the cause...
Unless the device decided to take it out on you for breaking its sleep on a daily basis :o

I kind of remember that after a upgrade process, or restore ( can't remember which) I had double up of alarms going for each set I had defined. Did you a restore or any such activity when this happened?

Hi,
First of all, I do backup every other day.
Now, I did have a series of backup/restore events a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't restore since then. I too think my "Ghost alaem" got saved to my desktop, and it syncs back without appearing in the Alarms' screen.
Is there any way to edit the list of "floating" alarms?
Thanks...

Hi, i had somthing simular the other day and a few months ago. See the link below, theres 2 files to download that did the job for me, it was a simple case of the system not deleting it in registry.
Not sure exactly how these programs work, just backup your system first then apply them, one clears un needed reminders on each soft reset and one is manually started and clears the unrequired alarms.

Thanks, Adam!
I saw a couple of clock.exe events, set to 23:00 (The "Ghost" time).
I guess it'll do the trick (It's 21:33) in here... :)
By the way... It's important to read http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html before applying these applications.
Thanks again.
