If your files got corrupted then its likely nothing will be able to recover
the lost messages from them, as they no longer contain the messages. You can check the Recycle bin for bak files that are backups of the dbx files (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2). Otherwise, my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) has an extract from disk feature that will bypass the file system and analyze the entire hard drive for messages and it will recover whatever is still on the hard drive disk clusters. steve "Ciro" wrote in message ... "Michael Santovec" ha scritto nel messaggio ... The background compaction option was removed starting with XP SP2. Even with background compaction, there was no prompt. Starting with SP2, you get the prompt to compact after 100 closings of OE and every one thereafter until you compact. My guess is that you recently installed XP SP3. It changes the way the compact count gets incremented. If the main OE program is closed, every time a DBX, EML or NWS file is accessed the count gets incremented. This includes double clicking an EML file or sending an e-mail from another program (if OE is the default for either) or a number of indexing programs such as Windows Desktop Search or Nero Scout. In the latter case, telling the indexing programs to stop indexing DBX, EML and NWS files will stop the problem. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "R Palino" wrote in message ... Somewhere along the way, I came across an option for OE to "compact messages in the backgroud". Now, for some reason I am getting repeated (and I mean repeatedly!) pop-up messages that say: "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take a few minutes." It also seems to take some system resources and slows down other things I am doing. I assume this is becuase I picked to "compact messages in the background" that htis is now occurring.
