Calling Bruce Hagen
You will need to provide a more information about your problem
with "Association" in Windows XP. I'm not an MVP. However, you will find plenty of very good MVPs at the microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support newsgroup . I suggest you post your enquiry there. When you do so, provide the following information: The version of Windows XP plus details of any Service Packs installed. (Hint - to obtain this information, click on Start. Then, right click on "My Computer" and click on "Properties"). My crystal ball leads me to suspect that you might have a problem with a File Association. I am sure that if you provide full details of the problem (and quote any error messages in their entirety), someone will try to help. "Drora" wrote in message ... Dear Bruce and Pa Bear. You are both very good. Many thanks to both of you. What I don't understand is why calling MS own tech support take you to some hell hole on the globe where there is no real help and here are the best guys in town ... The overload in OE problem fixed. Now if I can find someone in the next newsgroup dealing with "Association" in Windows XP that know things. I wrote several requests in those groups but there are no MVPs out there, Just participants like me trying to help each other. Will any of you accept a question in the topic of ASSOCIATION which is not OE ? "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... Have you compacted /since/ you moved or deleted messages? The file size will not change until you do. Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed. Compact Your OE Folders: http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Drora" wrote in message ... I hope to find you back again Bruce.....You seem to be better then MS own tech support guys... Here is another one on outlook express. It keeps telling me my program is overloaded and need to compact it. I allowed it to do it three times in the last one week. Finally I went to all my personal folders I opened on the program, such as FAMILY, FRIENDS, UNIVERSITY etc and emptied them either completely or left there very few short letters. But the program keep nagging that my OE is overloaded. I went to the DBX files and indeed the tags on each file shows the old state of 20 or 25 or 40 MB even though the folder on the program are empty or near empty. I tried to open the DBX files but I got into more troubles then I bargained for. So I called Microsoft again. I was connected to someone who knows where, that hardly speaks English, and probably not too familiar with the topic and now I am here again. How to empty this OE program when the folders on the program are near empty yet the DBX file shows heavy load ? Many thanks for your time Bruce Drora |
