Norton Desktop Hangs When Canceling Browse and Refresh

ID: Q82361

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS

If you start Norton Desktop for Windows (NDW) under Microsoft Windows and you have a printer connected with the appropriate printer driver installed, NDW stops responding (hangs) when you do the following:

Double-click the MS-DOS Prompt icon in Windows 3.1 to execute an MS-DOS session.

Choose NDW's Printer Icon button.

Choose Browse.

Choose Refresh.

Choose Cancel before the refresh function has completed.

After you choose Cancel, any subsequent action causes an application error. Choosing the Close button in the application error dialog box hangs NDW. If you press CTRL+ALT+DEL, the system returns to Program Manager, but the screen is corrupted. If you choose Exit from the File menu, Program Manager hangs, requiring you to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to exit Windows.

CAUSE

This is caused by a problem in NDW, not in Windows.
