Need a calendar app

Hey all,

I'm in need of a calendar app for windows vista 32-bit that is free or very inexpensive. Basically what i want it to do:

functions:
1. allow me to fill in things i need to do for that day
2. show me upcoming events
3. remind me a certain amount of time before that there is an event

objectives:
1. be as light-weight as possible
2. be as quick loading as possible
3. consume as little of the system resources as possible

constraints:
1. cannot cost more than $10
2. must be for windows
3. does not connect to the internet
4. is not a virus


thanks for any help. I really need something like this to help me with my time management.

 

Uhm, Windows Calendar, built into Vista?

Or am I missing something?

 

would you accept a sidebar application? not only is it free, but it has all of the features that you asked for, and it really doesn't get anymore lightweight than a sidebar app.

the app I'm talking about is zCalendar. Plus it has a good customizable interface.

 

I looked at that, and it just shows me the current date and allows no option to add notes or anything.

p.s
Ill check out the link, looks promising.

 

Google calendar

 

Hint Hint... Type into the search 'Windows Calendar'

 

Read his last post again.. the one that you quoted

 

read constraint number 3.

thanks for the suggestion tho, if it was download-able it would be perfect.

 

Rainlendar is quite good. Don't really use it much, but should have everything you need, including loads of skins

 

I downloaded rainlender2

it looks sweet and does the job

thanks all for the input.

 

Try "Essential PIM" (free version available) or Mozilla Sunbird. Both Are great.

 

Plenty of rainlendar skins here if you decide to stick with it/want to change it.

 

I've been using Sunbird for some time before switching to google. It's a really nice piece of software.

 

I did and I agree with Jakamo. The "Windows Calendar" application that is part of Vista will do everything that the OP asked for. I just opened it and I can create events for today or any other, the event has an alarm to remind me, I can show the calendar for just today, a week or a month.

If he wants is a task list, rather than a calendar to manage appointments, then it isn't what he wants.

Having said that, I use Thunderbird with the Lightning add-on for my calendar.

Been using Rainlendar for a while and it is a great program. Simple and easy to use.

 

S'funny

Mine allows me to do everything you asked

 

My bad, I thought you meant the calendar tool in vista sidebar. that thing is useless.

But windows calendar seems pretty alright aswell. Thanks all for the help.

 

Ahh, you had me scratching my head.....
