SYMPTOMS
========

Beginning with Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4, you can limit the amount of disk
space a user profile can consume by using Profile Quotas. In the German version
of Windows NT, the error message that states you have exceeded your limit does
not disappear even after you have reduced your profile.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs because a localized string is too long.

RESOLUTION
==========

A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to
correct the problem described in this article and should be applied only to
systems experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional
testing at a later time, to further ensure product quality. Therefore, if you
are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait
for the next Windows NT 4.0 service pack that contains this fix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services
to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services
