Outlook reminders not working after upgrading from Office 2003 to 2007

I just recently upgraded to Outlook 2007 (in 2011, I know).  The calendar reminders weren't working even though I made sure default reminders were turned on.  I missed a meeting or two. :(   What worked for me was to close Outlook, then open a Command Prompt (Start > Run > cmd).  Then go to the directory containing outlook.exe to clean the reminders database.  Type the following (in bold ) from the command prompt: C:\Documents and Settings\User> cd "\program files\microsoft office\office12" C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12> outlook /cleanreminders Start Outlook and your reminders should pop up.  If not, follow this link to an in-depth article for more troubleshooting: Outlook Reminders Problem
