    Pocket PC 2002 and reminders

    Are there any settings or 3rd party freeware that will make reminder alarms periodically repeat if not dismissed? Right now all I can get my PDA to do after the initial alarm is to blink a little light. I can't see the light through the case so that's not too helpful. Thanks.
