Default Reminders Popup but do not steal focus

Reminders seem to popup either behind a window or minimize automatically and
do not steal focus. One of my users is complaining that he is missing
meetings due to this bug. Please assist.

This seems to be the way the reminder window is supposed to work for OL 2003
and up.

This behavior is in the 2002 version, do you know if this is also true for
the 2002 version? We have not done anything to his current install of the
software recently to have caused this change that I know of.

I don't recall whether Outlook 2002 had the single reminder window or not.
