Hi: I'm a newbie, need some help. Using OE6 running on Wn98SE, I do compact
folders periodically. Today I tried do so, but OE crashed with following
error message:MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in
module DIRECTDB.DLL at 017f:01af6b9b.".
Assuming that folders.dbx was corrupted, I tried the following:
(1) Went "offline"
(2) Used "find" to locate folders.dbx (there wre 3, maybe one for each
identity) renamed them to "folder_old.dbx"
Tried this twice, crashes every time. However OE is still functioning
normally. Can anybody suggest a way to restore compacting? Thanks in advance.
