In posted message 6/14/08 Lately when I boot up my computer I am getting
message -outlook express can free up space. outlook express can compact
messages, this may take a few minutes. How do I stop this message from
appearing? I forgot to note that I do not use outlook express. Still I need

Yes I have upgraded to SP3

Please answer ALL of these questions by number:

1. Did you install WinXP SP3 via Windows Update or manually? When did you
install WinXP SP3? May I assume this behavior only started after you
installed WinXP SP3?

2. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were ANY of these applications running when you installed WinXP
SP3?

3. Is Windows Live Mail installed as your default Mail Client? If not, what
is your default Mail Client now (e.g., Thunderbird; Eudora; none) and was
Windows Live Mail ever installed?

4. Open Add/Remove Programs | open Add/Remove Windows Components: Is the
"Outlook Express" option checked or unchecked? If checked and you uncheck
it & reboot, does the prompt to compact OE folders persist?

5. Are you using an IBM Rapid Access keyboard or is RAKDLL.DLL present on
the machine (e.g., in C:\System32 =this folder)?

6. Is Windows Desktop Search installed?

7. Are any Nero plug-ins installed?

8. Is MailWasher installed? If so, what version is it? If not, has it ever
been installed?
