Re: MX OUtlook Express Question

[Herb Chong]

on every crash, Windows always checks for errors at the next reboot. NTFS is 
a journaling file system and so is inherently more robust against crashes, 
but only as compared to FAT32. at boot time, a journaling file system only 
needs to verify make  sure that the last journal record is valid or to back 
out to the last valid one to catch and repair most errors. security 
descriptor problems are more complicated. running chkdsk would not have 
detected Mark's problem.

It's more a matter of never checking the file system for errors than the
type (NTFS or FAT32) in my experience.
(if you want to do it now: --> Start --> run -->  (chkdsk c: /f) say 
"y"es,
do it after a restart under NT/W2K/XP)
and that Outlook Express starts corrupting its DBX if the file size gets 
too
big (over 512MB for ex.)or in case of (missing) memory leaks.
