In summary, the conversation discusses the search for a simple planner/organizer that runs on Windows and includes an alarm feature. The original program mentioned may have been accidentally deleted, but it was found again through backup files. The program is called Date-Manager from Gator and is known to have spyware and display pop-up ads. There is a suggestion to look for better software, but ultimately the original program is put back in use.

It was date-manager from the Gator company (no wonder it got deleted)

I'm pretty sure the Outlook that comes with MS Office chas a planner/organizer. Are you sure that wasn't the program you were using?

[edit] Yuck, are you talking about this program:

"This software also occasionally displays pop up ads on your computer screen based on your online behavior."

I would look for something better than some spyware ridden software

Yeah, that's the program. It's my dad's computer and he immediately noticed it was gone from the taskbar :rolleyes: I've look for some software at ZDNet but didn't find any straightforward ones, so I've just put that one back out. It should be fine :)
