The only thing I can think of is IT policy. Is your blackberry second hand, or did you buy it new?
Otherwise, maybe there's just some glitch. A hard reset -- with power on, remove battery for about 30 seconds -- fixes most weird stuff that happens. Try that if you haven't already. You won't lose data.

Find and open options from your applications screen. Select security options, then general settings. Scroll down to services. What do you see entered there?

Just curious, what exactly do you see under services? Can you reproduce it here?
It doesn't matter what you are doing now. If the blackberry was on a BES prior to you acquiring it, it would have an IT policy on it unless it were removed.
I'm also curious what you are doing with regard to email, and how that could bear on the entries under services.

When you installed desktop manager, did you select the redirector option. I don't know anymore what you see when you install, or if the redirector option is still there. Anyway, I'm guessing that's what you did.

As far as you not having the keep appointments field in options, I'm stumped. There's something about this I don't know.
All I can advise is remove the battery again a wait a good couple of minutes. I have read of cases here on the forum where the first battery pull did not correct a problem, but the 2nd or 3rd did, or it took longer than 30 seconds to do the job.

I don't know if it matters for you right now. If/when you get BIS, then you'll want to correct the setup.
If you want to undo it now and see what happens, run the desktop manager installer again. You may have the option to change the setup/settings, but you can definitely select uninstall. If you uninstall, then reboot and install again.
As I say, though, I really don't know why you don't see the field. I'm stumped.

It's not going to hurt. But I think pull it again and wait a good minute. I realy don't think more than that is going to make any difference.

Alright I will uninstall / install again....
I performed a wipe handheld option last week, so I dont think previous owners settings are no longler on my device.
If something changes I ll post it so people can see. But it seems to me like an os problem.
Since the keep appointments field is in the trouble shooter + manual loaded on the device, it should be there. hidden perhaps , but there.

Fyi for the future, a security wipe will not remove an IT policy. It doesn't sound like you have an IT policy, but just want to correct any misconceptions.
