I have just completed a clean install on a new drive of xp Home Edition and
updated it to SP2 including all the security updates from MS update site. It
is a legal copy and was activated over the internet OK. I used Outlook
Express Backup Genie program to back up all messages etc on the old drive. I
then fitted the old drive as a slave and again using Outlook Express Backup
Genie program restored all messages etc to OE on the new drive. In OE I
click on tools Options then click on the maintenance tab. If I alter
anything here and click on 'apply' I immediately get a window pop up -
"Options" in the blue bar at the top below is a red circle with a white
cross and the message " Please enter a value between 5 and 100 for the
percent at which to compact files. There is no ware to enter this info.
There is a comment part way down "When Compacting Messages" under this are
two boxes - "Delete Read Messages in News Groups" and "Delete News Messages"
then a box to enter a number "days after being downloaded" I want to move
the stored folder and this is how I found out about this problem
I hope I have given enough info for someone to help
