I have not been able to use the planner for several beta releases now. However my fiance who is using the same exact update is able to use it fine. Not sure what is up. I don't use the planner a lot but the next time I think of it I will send in another problem report. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Danny Norris" <dannynorris@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Michael , In your list of updates you have 'corrections to Planner and Journal'. In Build 21, the Planner is not working correctly. I still can't addappointments and the appointments are not announced when I go to that date.So as you say, the latest beta version is going to be the final released version, does that mean the Planner will not work correctly still? Sorry to be a pain about the Planner, but I get a lot of use out of it.

There are quite a few changes in this new version. I will list these changes, but I wanted to make note of a couple of things first. The update has not been released yet. We wanted to give everyone a chance to read through this message first. It will be released this afternoon. One of the biggest changes in the new version is virtual memory. This will allow users to open multiple applications and leave them running. What this means to you is that we will require some disk space. We will need 500 megabytes of space, so before you download this new version please clean up your hard drive and make this space available. Once your system has updated it will ask to perform some system maintenance. If you answer yes it will check your drive for errors and then re-partition the drive. You can answer no, but if the re-partition is not done virtual memory can not be turned on. Now, here is the list of changes.
