5977.0. "Strange problem after AltaVista PE installation" by GYPSC0::MDRECHSEL () Mon May 05 1997 06:11

	Since the installation of AltaVista Private Extension I have
	a very strange behaviour on my PC.

	On every reboot or re-logon, I get a Explorer window for every
	top-level directory and a start of every top-level-directory
	program is performed. This ends up in ~50 Explorer windows and
	some CMD.EXE windows.

	I have absoluteley no clue where to look which part of NT 
	initiates this. There's nothing special in the "startup" section
	of .../profiles/... There's noting in the "runonce" section in 
	the registry.

	And, this did not go away after a de-installation of AltaVista PE.
	Also a re-installation did not correct the problem.

	Any idea? Where do I start looking further?

	BTW: I could install AltaVista PE on my home PC without
	any problem. Also some other PC's in the office installed
	it -> no problem.


	Thanks for any help!

	Manfred

	PS: I use NT 4.0 (build 1381) ServicePack 2

5977.1Problem still there ...GYPSC0::MDRECHSELTue May 20 1997 02:3313
	Well, nobody seems to be able to help!

	I even sent a note to "Ask the expert" in the
	AltaVista PE forum, but the "expert" did not answer.
	A entry to the AltaVista PE FAQ was not possible due
	to problems with the AltaVista WWW-server. I also sent
	mails to two AltaVista PE engineers. But they do not
	seem to care about their users ...

	The problem is still there.
