| | "Reclaim space on closing" Error When closing Windows Live, it usually if not always ask if I want to reclaim spaced. A no answer is find, but if I select yes, it takes a few seconds and then decides that another process is locking the file. What gives? Yea, if you need it I will record the exact messages, I just keep forgetting to do that. -- Joseph Meehan Dia 's Muire duit |

| | Re: "Reclaim space on closing" Error "Windows Live" includes a whole suite of programs. I assume you meant Windows Live Mail. Open Windows Live Mail, and without doing anything in it, close it. This time when you answer yes to that prompt, it should be successful. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Joseph Meehan" <sligoNoSPAMjoe@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:u2g97BOlIHA.5260@xxxxxx Quote: > When closing Windows Live, it usually if not always ask if I want to reclaim spaced.

Thanks, I will give it a try. Also sorry about not noting it was Live Mail. I should know better.

| | Re: "Reclaim space on closing" Error This is becoming a bigger problem for me lately. It will not close properly, no matter what I do. I've followed all previous suggestions and it just will not close. And you can't force a close because the compacting ability closes too. -- İLarryEş "Joseph Meehan" <sligoNoSPAMjoe@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:#SexYCSlIHA.3400@xxxxxx Quote: > "Gary VanderMolen" <gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:#8VhYZQlIHA.3780@xxxxxx Quote: >> "Windows Live" includes a whole suite of programs.

You may have to use Task Manager to End task wlmail.exe Only do this if the Processes line for that task is clearly not doing I/O. E.g. activate all statistics for the Processes tab and see that the only activity is only a slow periodic I/O Other and I/O Other bytes increment by 16 exactly. HTH Robert Aldwinckle --- |

| | Re: "Reclaim space on closing" Error Been there, done that. I've had that checked all along but still no go. As long as it doesn't ask to compact the data base, it closes properly every single time, but as soon as it is time to compact, it messes up. I used to be able to open WLM and close it without doing anything and it would work fine, but don't know what happened to it lately. -- İLarryEş "Gary VanderMolen" <gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:e#Fos7blIHA.5368@xxxxxx Quote: > There is a known shutdown bug in the current version of WLM. > The workaround is to enable the option "Upload Larger Images to > the Web When Sending a Photo E-mail". > > -- > Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) > > > "İLarryEş" <me@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:B60F68DE-A3D1-47F0-A5B5-73F637478897@xxxxxx Quote: >> When I close WLM and it is time to compact, WLM does not close and when I >> click on the OK to compact the database, I get the message that the >> folder is in use by Windows Live Mail or some other program.

If I hover the mouse pointer, especially over the No button, the prompt goes into an hourglass, never to return. That's when one instance of the TM I/O Other Bytes 16 symptom state starts. However, I have seen it happening independently of doing a close too. So for me at least that loop is the more general problem which causes the described symptom and other "hangs" as well. Quote: > WLM does not close before reaching the prompt state. You could use TM to check what it is doing then too. Quote: > and when I click on the OK to compact the database, I get the message that the folder is in use by Windows Live Mail or some other > program. I have never seen that symptom. If it occurs frequently I would use ProcMon to get more details about what is in use and by what. Alternativey if you identify only the object which is in contention you could get a better idea of the holders of the object by using Process Explorer and doing a Ctrl-F Find for its handles. You may find via ProcMon also that there are some hidden diagnostics being saved somewhere.
