DBXPress will probably end up being what you will have to use if the dbx
files are "gone" or empty. http://www.oehelp.com "gary" wrote in message news:AyKDf.59191$M94.1735@trnddc01... I let outlook express automatically compact. When I cam back the next morning.

You could consider running System Restore.
Have you ever tried using System Restore in Windows XP? This will restore your computer to earlier date when your computerwas running smoothly. Pick the date closest to the present date (but right before you had the lock-up with it's complications). To Run System Resto Left click Start Choose Help and Support In the Help and Support window look under "Tasks". The third choice under Tasks is: "Undo changes to my computer by restroing my computer to an earlier date". Click that. At this point instructions on how to proceed will be given. If you choose to do this, be sure to put anything that you have saved on a disk since you will lose those things you have saved (including email messages) that occured between the current date and the date ro which you are restoring. Your email folders should be restored however with a successful System Restore. Good Luck. "gary" wrote in message news:AyKDf.59191$M94.1735@trnddc01... I let outlook express automatically compact.

Gary,
Earlier today I responded to your problem suggesting that using System Restore might correct your problem. Even though it probably woul, you could try running a "Check Disk" first. It would be the more conservative option: If check disk doesn't restore your folders, then you may have to try system restore. Instructions below. Let me know if it helps. ajhale How To Run Check Disk (CHK DSK) for Windows 1. Double Left Click "My Computer" on desktop to open. 2. On next screen, Right Click on "Local Disk C" 3. In box that appears, Choose "Properties" 4. In Properties, Open Tab for "Tools" 5. In Tools, Click "Check Now" 6. In the screen that appears, be sure to place checks in boxes in front of: Automatically fix system errors and San for and attempt recovery of bad sectors 7. After you have completed the above and Start Now A box will come up telling you that the Check disk will be run the next time you start your computer. 8. You can Restart Computer and the computer will go into Check Disk mode during the reboot. If you do not restart, the check disk will run the next time you do restart your computer. The check will take at least an hour so do this when you know you will not need the computer for a while. "DGuess" wrote in message ...

System restore won't get his messages back. He needs to run the extract
from disk function of DBXpress. www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/ steve "ajhale" wrote in message ...
