From: marchewd on 13 May 2006 22:59 I keep getting an error message when I try and check delete messages in delete folder when exiting box (only box checked on maintenance tab). It brings up a dialogue box that says "please enter a value between 5 and 100 for the percent at which to compact files. How did I enter this value in? It is really annoying. Thanks, Dan
From: Michael Santovec on 14 May 2006 14:18 What version of Outlook Express are you using? Look in Help, About Outlook Express. That percentage setting is from a very old version. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "marchewd" <marchewd(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:BD27AC84-B859-4233-8958-E6E4CDEB14EF(a)microsoft.com... >I keep getting an error message when I try and check delete messages in > delete folder when exiting box (only box checked on maintenance tab). > It > brings up a dialogue box that says "please enter a value between 5 and > 100 > for the percent at which to compact files.

From: marchewd on 14 May 2006 17:41 I just installed XP Pro with service pack 2 the other day. I downloaded IE 7.0 as well. I will reply with the exact build tomorrow. Is there a way to install the latest version of OE? Thanks, Dan "Michael Santovec" wrote: > What version of Outlook Express are you using?

From: Michael Santovec on 15 May 2006 18:58 If you installed XP with SP2, you would have pretty much the latest version of OE 6 (other than possibly some security updates). That percentage compaction was from OE4, I think. I don't know if OE5 had it. I don't think OE6 ever had that option. You mention installing XP Pro recently. Did you do an upgrade from an older version of Windows? I wouldn't be surprised if that setting were left over in the registry from an older version and OE is still checking that it have a valid number, even if it isn't used anymore. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "marchewd" <marchewd(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0420D4D1-6C38-4F93-A2BB-6A9298B3AD17(a)microsoft.com... >I just installed XP Pro with service pack 2 the other day.

From: marchewd on 17 May 2006 01:19 It is OE 6.00.26. It was a clean install. I did backup my email address book, messages and setting using mailsaver xe. Is there anyway to get around this error message?
