SYMPTOMS
========

The following error message appears:

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs when you schedule Windows NT Mail (MSMAIL32.EXE) to start

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem:

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide
problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can
be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

1. Set the Schedule Service to log on as a system account.

2. Save key HKEY_USERS\<SID>\Software\Microsoft\mail.

3. Restore to HKEY_USERS\default\Software\Microsoft\mail.
