DOCUMENT:Q181491 09-AUG-2001 [winnt] TITLE :PRB: MFC Generic App Resources Cannot Interact with Desktop PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER:winnt:4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0 - Microsoft Cluster Server ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC)-based applications, when launched from Microsoft Cluster Server and set to interact with the desktop, will fail with an Abnormal Program Termination error message being displayed. CAUSE ===== The MFC library attempts to set a computer based training (CBT) hook when a window is created. This operation is not allowed on the interactive desktop when the program is not running in the current logon session of the interactive user. RESOLUTION ========== If you are using an MFC application as a Microsoft Cluster Server resource, you can resolve the problem in one of the following ways: - Do not set the MFC application to interact with the desktop. - Start Cluster Server in debug mode by using the "clussvc -debug" command line in the %WinDir%\Cluster directory. NOTE: You must first stop the Cluster Server service first using the Control Panel Services tool. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
