My download says file is corrupt? This means you did not download the entire file. Please try again and if you still have a problem, you will need to reboot to clear your cache (temp files) and then re-download. The cause of incomplete file downloads is usually due to a dialup connection or slower internet connection, a busy server on your end or ours, or an interruption/timeout on the servers or their routes.

Should I choose Save or Open when downloading?  Either way will work. It is easier to choose Open as it will install without having to save and find the file to install it. Our Download page explains both in detail.

Why do I get an error when I try to download CalendarPal?  Your browser may be preventing your download from our main download link as it is set up to tell us how many downloads we have had of the program. It does not save any information about you. Also, do not use a download manager or download accelerator. If you have one installed turn it off, or right-click the download link and choose "Save target as", save it to your Desktop or other location where you can easily find it, and double-click the installation file to install CalendarPal. If you continue to have a problem, choose our alternate download link, or click here.

2. Uninstall

How do I uninstall CalendarPal?  There are two ways to uninstall CalendarPal. 1) Choose Start, All Programs, CalendarPal, and choose Uninstall, or 2) Click Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, find CalendarPal in the alphabetical list, and choose Remove.

3. General Questions

Does CalendarPal have a backup feature? No, it does not. If you want to do a manual backup once in a while to save your information, you can open Windows Explorer (My Computer), go to C:/Program Files/CalendarPal/Settings and save the contents of this folder.  You could save that folder to CD, floppy or other location.  To recover your information in case of format or loss, reinstall CalendarPal, then copy the saved folder contents into the newly created one and let it copy over the files. This would ensure all your settings (dates, notes, etc) are saved.

Why is the time in the lower right of CalPal different from my local time?  This is not your local time display; it is the time that the weather was last updated at accuweather.com for your locale. You can refresh weather data from Accuweather any time by clicking "Weather" in the CalendarPal toolbar and selecting "Update Weather".

My weather suddenly stopped working? What happened and how do I fix it?

Some Windows updates change your Internet connection settings so that CalendarPal cannot find it. There's an easy fix - it takes less than 2 minutes:

1. Open CalendarPal
2. Click Weather
3. Click "Set Location"
4. UNCHECK "Enable Weather Forecasts and Conditions"
5. Click "Select"
6. Click "File" on the toolbar then "Exit" to exit CalendarPal

Open CalendarPal, follow steps 1, 2, 3, above then

7. CHECK "Enable Weather Forecasts and Conditions"
8 Make sure your location is showing and selected, then click "SELECT"

The weather will immediately start showing again.

4. Reminder Questions

 How do I get my Reminders to show on CalendarPal?  Right click anyplace on the days on CalendarPal and choose "show Reminders"

I have a lot of Reminders and only want some to show on CalendarPal; can I do this?  If you have a reminder for a pill to take every day or something that is very repetitive and you don't want it to show but you do want other reminders to show, just UNCHECK "show reminders" when you are creating the reminder. You will see this option in the window where you add the reminder and the time.  If you have existing reminders that you want to set up this way, click reminders on the left side menu, then double-click the reminders that you want to change and uncheck box as explained above.
