EMail Error Message

Hello,

I've recently noticed that when I receive emails I receive the following error message as a footnote:

This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system.
part000.txt - decompression was not completed, check the amount of free memory and disk space

I don't think I've changed anything and doubt memory is an issue (1Gb DDR & 120Gb Hdd ~80% free). Does anyone know if this means my emails aren't getting scanned and if there is a simple fix for it? Guess I can always do a clean install if I have too...

Thanks in advance.

David

 

Yes, I've been getting it on each message for the last ten days or so. If there is more than one attatchment with the message I get this type of thing:

__________ NOD32 1.960 (20041229) Information __________

This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system.
part000.txt - decompression was not completed, check the amount of free memory and disk space
MVI_0002.AVI - decompression was not completed, check the amount of free memory and disk space

I do not have System: List all files checked. Should I tick this and see if it makes a difference?

Getting that error indicates that the system TEMP and TMP variables most likely point to directories which do not actually exist on the disk. To check this, right-click the My computer icon, select Properties and in the Advanced tab click the Environment variables button. The system variables appear in the lower pane. If they appear OK, try changing them to, e.g. c:\windows\temp (be sure this directory exists).

 

Yeah, it happs when I just receive text emails too. Eg:

__________ NOD32 1.960 (20041229) Information __________

This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system.
part000.txt - decompression was not completed, check the amount of free memory and disk space

I tried following Macro's instructions but got a bit lost. I understyand what he is saying and there seem to be temp directories in the environmental vaiables section. Would it just be easier for me to do a fresh install??

 

See the following screen shot.

Wow, that was very thorough. Both the folders were in the enviromental variables but it looks as though my temp directory was deleted from my Windows folder. I've created a new one and now it's working like normal again.

Thanks for all the help guys, it's really appreciated.

Good to see, and thanks for reporting back, as it helps us all to learn.
