Problem while running XP's disk compression utility

D

Dave Rado

I started off Windows XP's disk compression utility and not long after it
started, I got the following message:
______________________________________
"Error Applying Attributes

An error occurred while applying attributes to the file:

....\7a436fe806e48396f48a894af2fe9a1_99eeeoc3-2ff-4e1

Access is denied.

[Ignore] [Ignore All] [Retry] [Cancel]"
______________________________________

What does this mean and what should I do?

Regards

It could mean the file is in use. I would cancel the procedure and
decompress the files already done. If free space is limited, you'd better
purchase the larger capacity disk.
