SYMPTOMS
========

When you use Policy Editor (Poledit.exe) and add numerous programs to the list
of allowed programs, you may receive the following error message:

  PAGEFAULT at <address> in comctl32.dll

=====

This problem occurs because the list box is being updated even if there is no
change to the information.

  System.

2. On the Device Manager tab, double-click Universal Serial Bus, double-click
  Universal Host Controller, and then click the Disable In This Profile check
  box to select it.

STATUS
