Tasks Flash and Go Back to Home Page

[SkyEyes]

I see other posts with the same thing. Can someone from Microsoft answer this
or have they seen this?? We have a few machines that flash tasks and then go
back to the main page--as one person stated in the forums, a little box
started to appear and then goes away. Other people also have the same
problem on that machine. We have a few Windows 2000 SP4 fully patched
machine with IE 6 fully patched that have this problem. We have seen a
similar problem and the fix is listed below that seems to work, but for some
reason, these windows 2000 machines are giving us headaches. So does anyone
know specifically what Project Server is doing when a person clicks on tasks?

Here is the fix below that we've had success with on most Windows XP
machines. Create a script that runs this from a source dir. There is a TID
that explains this problem with the %WINDIR% and Downloaded Program Files
directory as there should be two files located in this directory and we have
been finding only one.

Expand pjclient.cab -F:* "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files"
Expand pjcintl.cab -F:* "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files"

regsvr32 /s "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\PJCalendar11.ocx"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\PJGrid11.ocx"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\PJOffline11.ocx"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\PJOutlook11.ocx"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\PJPrint11.dll"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\PJQuery11.ocx"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\PJRes11C.dll"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\PJTextConv11.dll"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\PJUpdate11.ocx"

And Windows 2000
Expand pjclient.cab -F:* "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files"
Expand pjcintl.cab -F:* "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files"

regsvr32 /s "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files\PJCalendar11.ocx"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files\PJGrid11.ocx"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files\PJOffline11.ocx"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files\PJOutlook11.ocx"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files\PJPrint11.dll"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files\PJQuery11.ocx"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files\PJRes11C.dll"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files\PJTextConv11.dll"
regsvr32 /s "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files\PJUpdate11.ocx"

The most likely cause is the MDAC version the problem machines. Other causes
such as browser addons and other interference generators is possible as
well. I'd update the MDAC version first.
