Windows 95/98 Clients May Not Restart After Fax Client Installation

• Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server version 4.5

SYMPTOMS

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, do one of the following:

• From the Start menu, click Shutdown, and then restart your computer.



• Press Ctrl+Alt+Del, click Shutdown, and then restart your computer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
