I'm looking for something, preferably built into XP, that will remind
me of something at a specified time and date. I tried Google with no
success. I finally tried an app (Efficient Reminder) that had a free
version and said it worked with XP. I installed it and can't figure
out how to use it.


I found System Scheduler
(https://www.splinterware.com/products/scheduler.html) easy to use
(and it works on 7 too, so I don't have to do battle with 7's
built-in). I'm sure there are others though.

I
tried several times but was told that what I was trying to do was not
permitted (in free version?).


What is it that you _are_ trying to do - something unusual?


No. Just a reminder of an appointment at a bank to move my safe deposit
contents to a new box - their request. I'm not good at remembering non-
urgent unusual appts.

I looked at Gmail but it doesn't offer email
delivery at a specific time and date. I searched XP as best I could
but couldn't find anything.


Sending an email at a specific time is rather specialised. Does the
reminder need to be an email?

Any suggestions? This sounds like a useful feature that should be
popular.

TIA
