  • Office Express Error Msg: SENT file is currently being used by Outlook or by another application AND don't GET COMPACT. Help!

    Hello!
     
     
    I have both Outlook 2003 and Outlook Express 2003 loaded on my computer
    Only, I use Outlook Express and have not used regularly Outlook in 5 years.
    I have no problems using Express, (both in the sending or receiving of emails).
    There is no "snap-emails" sent or received in Outlook regular and none in the Outbox.  The same with the Express.
     
    About every month, compresses files Outlook Express and in doing so, the folder sent items do not get compressed, it does not create a new file SentItems.bak and it gives me the error: has SENT the file is currently being used by Outlook or by another application. 
     
    All the time this problem started, I received a number of updates to Office 2003 from Microsoft (probably updates 20-25).  They have installed without incident and that's the only problem resulting, I had with one of the components of Office.
     
    Thanks again for your help.  I'm looking forward to this problem so that it works correctly.

    The sent items folder may have a corruption.  Create a new folder and copy the text in the folder into the new folder.  Then close OE and delete the file sent items.dbx.  OE will create a new.  DBX files should not receive more than a few hundred megabytes or they get corrupted.

    A more effective solution: since you seem to have corruption, it may mean that there are more, if you can set up a new message store by clicking file | Identities.  Then you can add your accounts, use the file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.  Which will remove all corruption.

    Whatever it is, it's a good time to save your messages in OE, because it tends to remove them in unexpected ways.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6 also, if resumes default Outlook, he likes to do when he starts to date, just see www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx

    See if that helps.

  • Deleting a file returned "file is currently in use."

    I have the following method I use to delete the two files, when ran, I got the message "the file is currently in use."

    I think that my mistake is to check if the file exists before delete, however I deleted this condition and I have the same message.

    Any thoughts on how I can improve this feature?

            + resource.getString(CoffeeHouseResource.db_path)
            + resource
                .getString(CoffeeHouseResource.db_template_name),
            Connector.READ_WRITE);

      } catch (IOException e) {
      }
    }
    if (fconn != null) {
      try {
        fconn.close();
      } catch (IOException e) {
      }
    }
    }
    }
    

    I think it's the names of common path between the two connections of file causing the error. Try to use a connection file and delete each file individually rather than have two connections to file and delete them simultaneously.

    If you delete a file,
    I think that you should close the connection and reopen it. If you want to keep the same file name, you can also call truncate (0) to move to the beginning of the file and overwrite it. In addition, if the file already exists, I don't think it is necessary to create it again.

    (b) click on search, find handle or DLL (Dynamic Link Library) in the tool menu.

    (c) type the drive letter of the USB device in the handle or DLL substring text box and press the search button.

    (d) find the process and its PID (process identifier) in the following box.

    (e) with a view to the processes of the system tree, look for the process according to the dialog box find handle or DLL.

    (f) press Ctrl + H to display the handles in the view in the lower pane.

  • Now that my full FCP project, I burned a dvd and everything is fine but I want to download the .mov on YouTube, but cannot determine WHICH of the largest number is the one to download.  Too many files are named "Untitled" and I can't find a post of .mov

    Now that my project from FCP 5 minutes video clip is over, even if I am a complete and total novice to the iMac, I nevertheless managed burned a DVD via the file > share the menu option and everything went well, but now I want to download the .mov on YouTube, but is unable to determine to WHICH many files created in this project is the one to download!  It seems that many files are named "Untitled" and I do not seem to know how to find ONE with a .mov extension.

    At the top left of my screen of the FCP is the list of "Libraries" that after that I developed all the arrows to point down looks like this:

    Libraries

    Untitled

    Smart collections

    30/06/16

    Age of television

    If you haven't guessed, the name of my project is "T.V. Age" and I expected to find somewhere on the computer, a file named, 'T.V. Age.mov' or somethjng like that for me to download on YouTube, but I can't find THE .mov files.  Maybe I don't know how to market the Finder option to display filenames WITH extensions?

    I'm hoping that someone with enough time on their hands and understanding in their hearts will take the time to help me locate the .mov that as well as help me correctly name this library Untitled in the zone without good libraries course disrupt the integrity of the completed video-music that is always open on the timeline, even if I don't there anymore since my work with her is over , but the only "CLOSE button" I see is 'close library Untitled' button on the file menu.  I don't see even its end (the *) project button!  The only way I see how close my project is to close the program, but I doubt if it's true.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    If you did burn a DVD, then you did burn a DVD, you export any file can be used.  Share > main folder > Audio + video and download that ProRes file resulting.  Or use the built-in YouTube option to upload directly to YouTube.

    You don't "close" anything in the part of the timeline, it is useless.  You would simply open a new project or other media type of container, in the part of the timeline.

  • The files are currently encryption automatically.

    A lot of word documents and my son is creating programs c ++ are automatically encrypted.  When the document is opened, it is said user has access privileges.  When I try to uncheck the encryption properties, I get an access denied message.  I'm doing this as an administrator.

    Where Devil am I going to stop this?

    Where can I fix the access denied message?

    How to change permanently the user permissions for all users to have all permissions for the created documents?

    These files are under encryption by the Encrypting File System (EFS).  This seems to indicate that you have a XP Pro and not XP Home.  When it comes to the EFS, administrators don't have little or no power to decrypt these files.  Even if you are an administrator, you will not be able to access these files.

    With impatience...  You can access the encrypted files is to create a "EFS Recovery Agent.  You can then use the recovery agent to access any encrypted file after the agent has been installed.  You will find that only the encrypted files after the recovery agent is in place can be consulted.  Files created before then will not be available.

      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223316 >

    You can also disable EFS.  You can do this with group policy in a domain environment, but at home, a registry value can be changed.  Use with caution.  If you do not understand what follows or how to change the registry, not to do so.

    < quote="">
    «Note: Group Policy sets a registry key which is verified by the EFS during user operations.» The key is:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EFS\EfsConfiguration
    In the case of local computers that are not members of a domain, local politics is not available for the deactivation of EFS.
    However, a different registry key can be set to disable EFS. If the key is set to a DWORD value of 0x01, EFS will be disabled.
    Registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EFS\EfsConfiguration"
    < uote="">

    Found in:
    "Encryption in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 file system"
      <>http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457065.aspx >

    If it's any consolation, EFS is known as the 'Recycle Bin delay' because if a user does not save the certificate (as it is most are not), all crashing Windows requiring a re-installation of Windows will permanently remove access to these files to everyone.
