Default .mpg file too big???

I've been trying to DL an mpg file that is quite large. OE6 will only
decode, save and/or play 163 mb. When I try to "save as" or open (after
decoding) I get "Command Failed To Execute". What am I doing wrong and how
do I fix this problem?

Create a new folder in OE and copy the file parts to that folder. Then try
File | Folder | Compact on that new folder. Then try the combine and
decode.

If you are doing large files, then you need to compact very often using File
| Folder | Compact all.

Good. I figured the file was getting too big.

Make sure you see he www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and compact
frequently.

cheers,

This day and age, I would hardly think the hard drive was full. I suspect
the dbx file was huge and OE couldn't handle it.
