Well, now I can't find who had suggested to install Registry Monitor from
Sysinternals.com, but in my case - WinXP, SP3, regular use of Outlook Express
- I clearly see that each 2o secs the NMIndexStoreSvr (service?) queries the
value: "Compact Check Count', and sets a new value here, incrementing by one.
When the value reaches 100 (decimal), the annoying message prompt re-appears.
I have one crucial question he what side effects are to be expected by
stopping the service which triggers the counter update in background, causing
that after a little longer than half an hour after compacting we see the
message again? What is the service name to look for in computer management? I
am aware that this is not solving the root cause, but it is obvious that
though SP3 is one thing in common of these problems, they are triggered by
co-incidental influence of many other codes...

Something screwy is going with OE after installing XP SP3 with some
people. Most people don't seem to be affected but a few are.

Several other programs have been implicated, but even then, not everyone
with those programs are affected.

That it keeps coming up indicates that something on your system is
repeatedly opening and closing OE (MSIMN.EXE). To solve the
problem,
you need to determine what is causing that.

8!

But since XP SP3, we've been seeing some issues where various other
programs are triggering the problem.

Just curious but what other programs would open and close OE and why?
