39537 2002-03-17 13:42:00 I am getting a programme is not responding 'it may be waiting etc.' message when I try to close down. The heading on top bar of this message says 'Outlook Express Hidden Window'.I cant close by any means except turning the computer right off- it won't let me do anything else.

I have no idea what this can be. I have done a system check with Norton Utilites. and run a virus scan after live updating. Can anyone help?

39539 2002-03-18 03:18:00 i think i had this problem once, and if i recall right, the hidden window is OE checking mail/news in the background. The solution? Coffee! (or whatever you could do that will use a few minutes enjoyably while you wait) Guest (0)
39540 2002-03-19 00:36:00 It's likely OE comapcting folders. You can turn this off under Tools | Options | Maintenance. You can compact the folders manually under File | Folder | Compact all Guest (0)
