• Outlook Express can compact messages. How can I disable this error?

  OUTLOOK Express on Windows XP very annoying, it's almost each and every time I click on anything whether to open or close any program, etc...

  An error message is displayed: OUTLOOK Express: to free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages.

  This can take up to a few minutes.      OK or CANCEL

  It's on my computer for several years now and bugs the heck out of me.  How can I remove it so he won't?

  ALSO: All programs when opening are reduced to the minimum (small format) forces me to click on the big box next to the RED X at the top right?

  Why this is happening and how to remove this problem.  I do NOT need to expand all my programs constantly from the start?

  I do not use OE so I really should stay out of it, but I have it in my notes that can get you started and then other people may also help:

  I advise all to first understand what is happening and then decide how best to treat for your environment:

  If you are talking about a message that says:

  To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

  Automatic compaction of Outlook Express files was introduced in Service Pack 2.

  If you are using Windows XP, there is a registry value called:

  Compact Check Count

  It is located in the registry for a key that looks like this:

  \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKCU\Identities\ {51909A0B-63EE-4EB3-A9A2-7CFA23C1ADCF}

  Whenever you leave OE (not when you open it), the value of the counter increases by an increment (increment is not a verb so you can't increment something and a counter cannot be incremented).  When the value of the counter gets to 101, the next time you close OE asked you to compress messages.

  There are two things that will increase the value of the counter.

  Exit from Outlook Express will increase the value of the counter.

  If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, it will increase the counter every time it works which is usually at least at each reboot.

  If you use Outlook Express, and Windows Desktop Search, the counter will be increased more frequently — whenever you close Outlook Express and whenever Windows Desktop Search launches when you restart.

  So if you have Desktop Search installed, which will increase the counter of an increment, each time that you start and if you open and close OE ten times a day, your meter will be at eleven after only a day.  Repeat this for 9 days and you will see this message.

  Even if you are not using Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search, which will still increase the meter, so when the meter reaches 100, Windows Desktop Search will prompt you to compress messages at the next reboot even if you use not OE.

  This is because Windows Desktop Search is configured by default to search for the Outlook Express database if you are using OE or not.

  No matter how the counter is increased, if you use at least one of these two, eventually you will see this message appear sooner or later.  But you can stop it when you understand.

  Did you know that the "increase" is not a verb?  If you cannot 'increment' (or decrement) a counter.  You can increase or decrease an increment, however.

  You can compress data when prompted (which resets the counter to 0).

  You can change the registry and reset the counter to hand to buy some time until you see the message again.

  If you do not use Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search you can tell Windows Desktop Search to never watch the Outlook Express database (or uninstall the Windows Desktop Search if you do not use).

  To remove the Option of Windows Desktop Search index to the database of Outlook Express follow these steps:

  Click Start, settings, Control Panel, Indexing Options, change, clear the box Outlook Express, OK, OK, to save the settings and reboot the system so that the changes will be effective.

  After the Outlook Express recommended for use (which would include the normal database maintenance) will prevent you from seeing the message in the first place.  If you see the message that you might want to reconsider how you use Outlook Express and the risks of data store corruption of occasional or misuse (risk behaviours).

  Most people using Outlook Express or Windows Desktop Search agree just remove the indexing Option in Windows Desktop Search and keep the meter that is built into Outlook Express so that they will remind to compact the database from time to time.  If you had to sort of do not maintain your Outlook Express files, it would be risky for your messages.

  Windows Desktop Search is a memory and CPU of pigs anyway, so you better system performance if you just uninstall it.

• To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

  Every few minutes the message:

  "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages.  This can take up to a few minutes. »

  It is irrelevant for two reasons:

  (1) I do not use Outlook Express and have therefore no messages to be compacted.

  (2) I have not free disk space as I am currently using only five percent of the very large disks.

  Is could someone please tell me how I get rid of this very irritating message.

  Try to reset the compact County in the registry:

  1. Start the registry editor.
  2. Open this key:

     \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\ {identity}

     where the identity is a string of letters, numbers, and dashes.

  3. The value of Compact Check Count to 0.
  4. Close the registry editor.

  WARNING: Incorrectly editing the registry can damage your system and prevent Windows to start. Before you do, back up your important data, make a restore point and make sure that you know how to repair a damaged system. Boulder computer Maven

• Delete the message "for free space disk outlook express can compact messages."

  I use a PC with Windows XP SP3. I use Outlook Express to access a mail server via POP3 / SMTP. Several times, I get a message saying "Disk outlook express can compact messages for free space": how to prevent the message from appearing?

  I read the posts in this forum even on users not using only not OE. I use OE, but I want to choose if and when compacting messages...

  Prompt compaction is triggered whenever you close OE 100 times.  So if you compact manually, you don't get invited again until you close OE for another 100 times.  Unfortunately there is no way to change this.  Dbx files shall be compacted.  If they are not, they will move on to an enormous size, and then get corrupted, so it is important to pack on a regular basis.

• Get the message "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages" - No. OE installed

  From the beginning of this week, I get a pop-up message stating "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages".  This happens when that I start.  The fact is; I do not use Outlook Express or have installed. I checked the Windows components that are installed and checked that.  Once again; He started at the beginning of this week.  There are a few updates that was installed earlier this week also.  No other software has been added.  I use Outlook 2003 and have for years.  Will continue to cancel this message, I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on how to prevent this message from poping up upward.

  Of course, it has something to with Windows Search as you suggest.
  I open the Indexing Options and found that Outlook Express was listed and checked in an indexed location.
  I took the case off Outlook Express but he left on my Outlook 2003.
  The settings saved and restarted.
  The message poped always upward, but I noticed one thing - search index icon does not appear in the taskbar until I actually recognized the message by choosing .  I waited about a minute and a half before that I did to make sure my boot is complete.  Soon I clicked on cancel search index icon appeared on the system tray.

  Nero Scout or Windows Search is installed on this machine?

  In the case of Windows Search, (the offender #1), you must be told to stop indexing OE.

  In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.

  In the case of Nero Scout, see point 2.3 page 8 here.

• To free up disk space, outlook express can compact messages. This may take a few minutes.

  I started getting this message yesterday (2/28).  Likewise, I do not use Outlook Express (although I do use Microsoft Outlook - and get a lot of mail - 100 per day - keep up to 20)).  I opened Outlook Express and there is no visible message through the app.  I did not choose to run the process of "compact" of the window pop up.  Any thoughts?

• To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact the messages. This can take up to a few minutes. OK Cancel

  I started getting this issue of dialog start until recently. It appears every time on start up. I do not understand how or where it comes from because I do not use Outlook Express - I use Outlook. I always Cancel, but it always comes back. What has caused this? Is this a virus (my security software said no)? It would be safe to respond ok to clean? Thank you.

  Well, I see that Microsoft watches this question!   I also get this and I don't use Outlook at all, nor is it even listed in my control panel of the installed software.  I thought that if I could uninstall it it would go, but there is nothing that I can uninstall.  A response would be nice.

  Outlook and Outlook Express are two different programs. Outlook Express is a part of XP, so it cannot be uninstalled. If you get the compact quick to Outlook Express and are even use it, reset the registry only works for a few days, or even hours. When it starts up again, consider the following.

  If Windows Search is installed on this machine, which is the likely culprit. You have to tell to stop indexing OE.

  In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.

• How can I write only 1 sample every 0.5 second to my excel sheet

  It's the VI I work on... everything works fine but I have too many samples per second on my excel file... I just need 1 sample every 0.5 seconds. How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you very much

  The default values on the DAQ Assistant 100 samples acquired at 1 kHz, then each cycle you get 100 data points.  If you want only 2 points to a second and avoiding the is acceptable, could I plug "1" on the number of samples on the DAQ Assistant (or right-click and select properties to configure the node) and use a software or a timed loop delay in the loop like "wait until the next multiple of ms.  Alternatively, you can use screws more advanced such as 'DAQmx read' to get the desired behavior.  Remember that the data acquisition will be back as soon as he gets the data that you invited to capture, so you'll probably need something to keep periodic things between cycles of the loop unless you want to move to continuous hw timed operation of data acquisition.

• Re: Satellite L500 - fan power switch every 5-10 seconds

  Hello

  I have a new Toshiba satellite L500 1XX with i3 and I installed the 32 bit OS.
  Starting from the first start, the fan is acting strange every 5-10 seconds it started working for 5-10 seconds then stops for 5 to 10 seconds, then again, who's going all the time even if the flurry of the laptop stand out with something.
  I think that something is wrong, but was not able to find it. Please I need help
  Thank you

  Hello

  That's ok with your laptop. My satellite that a500 is also like that, even if I surf the Internet, watch movie and CPU shows only 5%. I don't play all the games. It didn't because of the dust because I clean it regularly, installed all the drivers, BIOS updated. The only way to make it quieter to run the fan at a constant speed as 54%, I simply load the CPU with some applications that maintains fan runs almost every time and not boring perceptible noise.
  You can play with the power settings in the power management, but in my case it does not help. And do not decide yet upgrade the Bios, it don't improve you but can kill your knees so wrong.
