SMS: Windows 3.1 Application Error After Uninstalling Remote Tools (215106)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0

This article was previously published under Q215106

SYMPTOMS

If you uninstall Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 remote tool components from Microsoft Windows 3.1 clients, application errors may be generated when you quit Windows.

The following error messages occur as application pop-up messages on the client computer
"Application Error: WUSER16 caused a Segment Load Failure in module USER.EXE at 0001:3C0F"
"Application Error: WUSER16 caused a Segment Load Failure in module IDISP16.DLL at ?"
"Application Error: PROGMAN caused a General Protection Fault in module GDI.EXE at 0004:06A8."
and then Progman.exe is closed.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur on computers with low conventional memory (less than 400 kilobytes [KB]), particularly when Wuser.exe remains in memory but all of the support files have been removed. At this point, if you exit Windows, you receive the application errors described in the "Symptoms" section.

WORKAROUND

To resolve this problem, increase Windows 3.1 client conventional memory to 400 KB or higher.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
