look at those rows examined!

I've had to disable the pager because of this, and my members are not happy about it. That isn't your problem, of course I was just hoping you could give me an idea of why it is doing this.

I've tracked this problem down the the hourly cleanup plugin part of the product. Is there a more server friendly way to do this?

It is described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ng_activex.asp

What changes have I to make to get rid of this windows pop-up? As far as I understand, the function must be no embedded but an external call.

Any suggestions? Even if I uninstall the patch - it will be just a question of time when the problem pops up again.

Thank you for your support!

I open up the pager now and there is no message at all. I click on the

Messages in folder: Inbox

It show's nothing "Showing results 1 to 0 of 0"......Do you think that maybe the cron is cleaning out the message's on the 24hr basis, but not able to delete the forum home display

Pager Messages: Unread 1, Total 2.

?

Thanks and let me know if there is anything i can do to help....

This update was just pushed out recently via Windows Automatic updates. Now, all my IE user's are experiencing this popup window with every recieved message.
