KNOWN BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

1. Installation aborts without an error message.  
   SYMPTOMS:
   The installation program for MSM aborts, during upgrade of an already
   existing MSDE database, without an error message. This situation will 
   never occur if the previous version of MSM and this version were 
   installed from original Ericsson CDs.
   CAUSE:
   The MSDE installation program (by Microsoft) assumes that the upgrade
   files are located in the same directory as when installing the original 
   MSDE. If originally installing from <disk>:\MSDE, the upgrading must 
   also be done from <disk>:\MSDE. <disk> is the current directory and 
   doesn't have to be the same for the original installation and upgrade, 
   but the path from there to the upgrade file must be the same.
   SOLUTION: 
   Make sure that the upgrade is done from an MSDE directory that is 
   located in the same directory structure, under the root of the disk, 
   as the original MSDE installation was done.

2. AM Setup failure  
   SYMPTOMS:
   When an AM Setup is performed that changes the traffic rate of an 
   rate agile MMU (valid for MMU 2x2-34+2, MMU 4-16xDS1, MMU 8-16xDS1, 
   MMU2 4-34, MMU2 4-8 and MMU2 4-16xDS1) the error message "AM setup 
   failed" is sometimes shown. 
   CAUSE:
   The MINI-LINK terminal response time is outside the specified 
   response time-out in MSM (specified in the Configure Communication 
   dialog box)
   SOLUTION: 
   Make sure that MSM is connected to one of the MMUs on which the 
   traffic rate is changed. If this does not help, the response time-out 
   in MSM can be increased.

3. Graphical problem.
   SYMPTOMS:
   The graphical layout in some MSM dialog boxes seems to be incorrect.
   In, for example, the Traffic Setup dialog box, buttons and text 
   boxes overlap each other.
   CAUSE:
   Your Windows installation is probably using large fonts while
   MSM is optimized for small fonts.
   SOLUTION:
   Modify the Font Size in the Control Panel->Display->Settings tab.

4. Launch of MSM from Traffic Node LCT fails.
   SYMPTOMS:
   When MSM is launched from the LCT and the following (or a similar) 
   error message is given; 
   Error opening file C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ADMINISTRATOR\LOCAL
   SETTINGS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\CONTENT.IE5\O5QNCPYN\TEST[1].mxm.
   CAUSE:
   The folder ..\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\ is full and the *.mxm file 
   that is used to launch MSM cannot be created.
   SOLUTION:
   Go to the Control Panel -> Internet Options -> General -> Temporary 
   Internet files. Press the button "Delete files".
