You need to allow it to compact so you need to say yes and let it finish. Then you will not be prompted again until you close OE 100 more times. If you are getting more prompts than that, then some other program is doing this. The major culprit is Windows Desktop Search and if you have that installed, then you need to disable OE in its settings and that should fix the issue. steve "lofty" wrote in message news:fd50fcb9-b17c-4126-ae95-6feb376aab45...I'm using Outlook express for mail with windows XP home and am continiously getting a pop up telling me that disc space can be saved etcwhen in fact the mail boxes are virtually empty How can I prevent this annoying pop up, my wife experiances the same problem on her PCError messages Recent changes you made to your computer What you have already tried to fix the problem
