Service Pack 3 and Compacting Message
Ever since installing SP3, I get frequent messages to compact. I've read all
the threads, and can't find any evidence of a solution yet. Does anyone know of a solution? -- Pete

I heartily agree...
SP3 was an excellent Microsoft job. No Problems Here. The SP3 Development Team should give remedial lessons to the VISTA and WLM Teams. DSH "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...

Service Pack 3 and Compacting Message
Millions of users may not have encountered this behavior, but I have,
numerous people on this site have, and you've provided a list of potentially conflicting things that may cause this problem, including the most widely used anti-virus app - Norton. That hardly makes MS look good. Now that I have that off my chest, does anyone have a solution instead of a lecture? -- Pete "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: See this recent discussion about the problem: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...d35fbfa457fd6f For reference, here's a list of things which are known to cause this behavior: • Various & sundry anti-virus applications (including Norton) • Various & sundry anti-spyware applications • Various & sundry third-party firewalls • Any/all of the above running when SP3 was installed • IBM Rapid Access keyboard (driver) RAKDLL.DLL • Nero plug-in(s) • Windows Desktop Search • Windows Live Mail • Disk defragmentation • MailWasher Millions of OE users have installed SP3 without encountering this behavior after doing so.

Service Pack 3 and Compacting Message
People are always pulling some asinine claim out of their hip pockets that
NORTON is to blame for their woes -- as a convenient whipping boy. My experience has been that NORTON INTERNET SECURITY 2008 is an EXCELLENT product and well-worth the price -- as have been previous versions. The problems occur when pogues and poguettes attempt to load cheap and ill-designed freeware on their computers, don't upgrade MS products regularly and fail to use GOOD, SOLID software that has been tested by Symantec and vice versa. Then they have only THEMSELVES to blame. -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Vires et Honor

You need to state your problem more clearly and describe your system.

Service Pack 3 and Compacting Message
Fair enough. Before installing SP3, I got the compacting message about once
a month and compacted. Now I get it every three days or so, and once it comes up, I get it every time a send an email. System is XP Home with SP3. What more do you need to know? -- Pete "D.

The compaction frequency can be adjusted:

For reference, here's a list of things which are known to cause this
behavior: • Various & sundry anti-virus applications (including Norton) • Various & sundry anti-spyware applications • Various & sundry third-party firewalls • Any/all of the above running when SP3 was installed • IBM Rapid Access keyboard (driver) RAKDLL.DLL • Nero plug-in(s) • Windows Desktop Search • Windows Live Mail • Disk defragmentation • MailWasher I presumed the above list would be self-explanatory. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running when you installed WinXP SP3? Are you using an IBM Rapid Access keyboard or is the file RAKDLL.DLL present on your machine? Are you running one or more Nero plug-ins? Is Windows Desktop Search installed? Is Windows Live Mail installed? Was it ever installed? Have you run Disk Cleanup and then a Defrag session since you installed SP3? Do you use MailWasher? Do you use any other anti-spam application/filtering? Is your anti-virus application configured to scan incoming/outgoing mail? OE File | Identities | Manage identities: Are you using the default "Main Identity"? Have you opened a free WinXP SP3 support incident about this? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ mallard85750 wrote: Millions of users may not have encountered this behavior, but I have, numerous people on this site have, and you've provided a list of potentially conflicting things that may cause this problem, including the most widely used anti-virus app - Norton.
