Xarses -
I am not using the built in alarm, I have tried several alarm programs and most worked for a while but they were unreliable. I believe that every program is at the mercy of the notification queue for any type of timed event due to their nature. I am currently using "Spb Time" for my alarm, it is an excellent program with many nice features but it exhibits the same problem. When you add an alarm, it creates an entry in the notification queue called "\windows\SpbTimeNotify.exe" to execute at the specified time. If the notification queue hangs then I don't think that it matters what program you are using, your notifications will get screwed up.
My point is that I believe that many, if not all, of the notification problems stem from a fundamental system problem caused by a Windows cleanup process. If the auto cleanup (clocknot.exe, calnot.exe, repllog.exe) in the notification queue are corrected to point to their proper directory then it may fix all of the problems.
But then again, this is just my opinion...
