FIX: The number of notifications in the system notification database increases when you restart a computer that is running Windows CE 5.0 (907263)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows CE 5.0


SYMPTOMS

Every time that you restart a computer that is running Microsoft Windows CE 5.0, the number of notifications in the system notification database increases.

CAUSE

The DCOM library makes a request for notification of certain events when it is loaded. This problem occurs because the DCOM library does not check to see whether the notification already exists. DCOM restarts when you reset the computer, but the notification database persists when you restart the computer.
