when i click configure next to calendar it says The organiser applications on your computer arent supported, it does the same for tasks and memos,

Outlook Express is not well known for compatibility with other systems. There is clearly a software compatibility issue between your BB Desktop manager and MSOutlook Express. My suggestion would be to try using a different program (e.g. MSOffice/Outlook). Perhaps another member can suggest a good one.

Outlook Express hasn't been supported for quite awhile by even Microsoft and is no longer available for newer operating systems. Using a BBOS device, your options are much more limited. Your email type may give you some flexibility with incoming appointments if you're not using POP3.

Good luck.
