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

What version of Outlook Express are you using? Look in Help, About
Outlook Express.

That percentage setting is from a very old version.

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

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.

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?

Thanks,
Dan

That's not SP2. That's the original XP. If you had SP2, it would be
6.00.2900. (6.00.2800 is SP1).

Upgrading to SP2 may get around the problem.
