Each time I boot up my PC, running Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, I get an error message which reads "Windows Calendar has stopped working".

Windows checks for a sollution, no sollution is found and it happens each time I boot up. Unfortunately, it means that Windows Calendar doesn't continue to run in the background and notify me of any appointments/reminders. I have to manually load Windows Calendar after the error to ensure I don't miss anything.

I've had a google and it appears I'm not the only one, there are certainly plenty of other users with the problem and although a few various fixes have been suggested, none seem to work for me.

Does anybody have any further info on this problem and is there a definitive sollution?

Thank you jpfieber! I'm going to contact Microsoft to request the hotfix.

If anybody else needs it, here is the KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/KB933942

There doesn't seem to be an easy way of contacting Microsoft and the hotfix isn't freely available on the web. I think I'll just wait until a fix is rolled out on Windows Update.

I don't have a definitive solution. My potential solution for all such recalcitrant Vista problem is to do a repair install. Be sure and backup first. And, while it should not be necessary, I usually abort a repair install if Vista notifies me of any conceivable program incompatibilities, uninstall the offending program(s), and start the repair install again.

Yep this just started happening to me on Sunday after I started using Windows Calender, now everytime I logon a message appears telling me Windows Calender has stopped working.
