I need to know if keeping the Outlook reminders up, slows down (or uses resources) on a pc? What I have is a user (manager) that has about 50+ reminders start up everytime he starts up his outlook 2000, then he complains that his pc is slow (he has a Dell 800mhz w/128mb ram W2k os). I tell him it's his reminders but he want proof.

well, i would try turning off preferences for test. Outlook/Tools/Options/Preferences/Task options. also check out this article about starting outlook with 'cleanreminders' and other switches designed to help troubleshoot outlook. knowledgebase at www.suppport.microsoft.com for article 197180.
you don't mention outlook version or office service pack version.

Might also be worth firing up Task Manager and checking the processor / memory usage for Outlook.exe.
