Default 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.

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 ?

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:

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
