Outlook Doesn't Save Calendar & Contact Entries

Outlook is an email and calendar software program that comes as part of the Microsoft Office package for Windows operated computers. Both the calendar and email programs run on the same files, so if the calendar does not save appointments or events and the contact entries are not working, you need to repair the files. This is done by running a reset and repair scan on both the calendar entry reminders and the general Outlook folders.

• 1

  Close your Outlook calendar program. You should also close the email application if it is open, as no Outlook programs can be open during the file repair procedure. Close the programs by clicking on the "X" button in the top of the right-hand corner.

• 2

  Open the Start Menu in Windows.

• 3

  Click on the "Run" button if you are using the Windows XP operating system. If you are using Windows 7, type "Run" into the search space and press "Enter."

• 4

  Type "outlook/ cleanreminders" in the Run search space and press the "Enter" key. Let the scan complete and repair the broken calendar files. Repeat step 3 to reopen the Run search space when the scan is done.

• 5

  Type "outlook/ resetfolders" into the Run search space and press the "Enter" button.

• 6

  Restart the computer to fix the last broken files.

• 7

  Open the Outlook program and start using the Outlook calendar.
