Every time I close down OE, it tells me I need to compact. But, when I tell
it to compact, it spends a long time doing it and then tells me that one of
the folders is in use. It then asks to continue or cancel. I always tell it
to continue compacting and the result is always the same. It never finishes.
This has happened to me about 5 times and the computer is useless while the
compact is in process because all the resources are in use.

Any clues?

TIA,

Tom
