   An idea will appear on your desktop looking similar to a note after the time period specified in the "Options" tab of the "Preferences" window (three (3) days by default). To open the "Preferences" window, please open the Control center and select "File" then "Preferences..." from the menu.
   
   
6. I can not select a date before today in the calendar. Why?
   The calendar is used to control upcoming events. Please select "History" from the "View" menu of the Control center to see logged events.
   
   
7. How do I restore my data?
   Terminate Cute Reminder. Copy the previously saved Cute Reminder's data folder back to its original location. Be aware that all reminders, notes and ideas as well as history will be totally overwritten.
   
   
8. The sound I have selected does not play. What is wrong?
   There are several possible reasons. The file may not exist, or your system may have no necessary audio decoding software installed. To check what is the case, please select "Preferences" from the "File" menu of the Control center and click the "Audio" tab. Make sure that the field "Test phrase" is empty. Click on the file that you want to test and then click the "Test" button. If something is wrong, you will see an error message with a description of the problem. If a file does not exist at the specified location, click the "Browse" button to find it. If you see a message similar to "Unable to recognize file format" then your system does not have an appropriate audio decoding software installed; you may face this problem even though you can play your mp3's with another audio player such as WinAmp because players may use their own audio decoders. Please see the next topic for more details.
