Error 6 - Runtime error. overflow
1:21 PM EDT 8/23/07
When I try to create a new backup of my profile I get a runtime error 6 - overflow.. I've looked and can't find any reason or solution. Does anyone have any info or suggestions.

Thanks, Dixie

Hi -

So, it has been a very long time now since we were actively supporting the tool, and so this is my best recollection. As I remember, this error often happened when the profile got very large.

Check the profile size and report back how big it is. To check the size:
- Browse to C:\Profiles\
- Right-click on the folder for the profile and choose Properties.
- Check the size listed (you may need to wait wile it counts up)

Looking back at some past postings, I was correct that this error is related to larger profiles. There was a fix created for it, but the site the fix was posted on is no longer active.

If cleaning out the profile - especially Internet and other temp files doesn't help, I can see if I can track down the patch.
