Default When installing OE 6.0 I get the following error message.

"please enter a value between 5 and 100 for percent at which to compact files."

Where do I enter this info? I can't seem to figure it out and I'm no
newbie.

TIA,

I am not sure why you are installing OE6 since it came with your XP
operating system, and I have never seen this before.

However...............

Go to: StartRunRegeditOK and find this key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID for Identity
\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0. In the right hand pane and find
*Compact Check Count* and set the value to what you are requested to do.

That's an old setting.

Look in the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{guid}\Software\Micro soft\Outlook
Express\5.0\News

for the key
Cache Compact Percent

and give it a value between 5 and 100.

The {guid} will vary depending on your installation

Wasn't it included in OE for Mac, Michael?

I'm not sure. I've only had a little access to the Mac OE and that was
a few years ago.

Just trying to set it up the way I want it and it won't let me due to the
bizarre request.

I actually like to customize and not just use the default.

This is not in my registry. I checked and my CS major DS checked it. Any
other ideas?

Thanks.

Then try adding the key with a value in the specified range. It won't
hurt and it might help.
