In order to have animated characters to notify you about the events your system must have a Microsoft Agent character installed. By default, at least one agent character comes with windows (the Merlin character). For more agent characters (Genie, Peedy and Robby) you can download them from the link bellow. To get the most out of the Desktop Alarm Clock you could also download and install Text-To-Speech engine(s) for the preferred language so that the characters could pronounce the events' reminding notes. To download these components follow this link: MS Agents and Text-to-Speech engines.
