directdbnotifywndproc

[Steve Burke]

For some time now when I shut down my computer I get a message saying that directdbnotifywndproc isn't responding. Pressing end now does just that and the machine shuts down.

 

Is this a problem I should do anything about?

 

Thanks.

"The error message regarding "DirectDBNotifyWndProc" seems to be from Outlook Express. Periodically OE wants to compact all your folders to save space. It pops up a small window asking if you would like to compact folders, etc. I think the message goes away quickly and may not always be noticed. I finally did let it compact my folders and the errpr went away. Hope this helps. Cheers, -john"

Thanks, Dunc. Yes, I do get the message about compacting files. However, it makes no difference whether I do so or not, I still get the same problem with directdbnotifywndproc closing.

 

As long as it's nothing to worry about I'll just leave it as it's just a minor annoyance.

 

Thanks again.
