SYMPTOMS
When you run the VSafe Manager program (MWAVTSR.EXE) in Windows and
the option for Show Icon is not selected, VSafe Manager does not
appear in the Task List. (It does appear if Show Icon is selected.)
CAUSE
VSafe Manager is a memory-resident program that allows VSafe messages
to be displayed in Windows. If you deselect Show Icon from the Options
menu in VSafe Manager, the minimized icon for VSafe Manager is hidden
and the program does not appear in the Task List. The Show Icon
option is selected by default.
WORKAROUND
Though VSafe Manager does not appear in the Task List, it is still
resident in memory. To regain access to VSafe Manager, choose Run from
the File menu in Program Manager and then type mwavtsr.exe.
NOTE: The Task List is a window that displays a list of all currently
running applications. To access the Task List, double-click with the
mouse anywhere on the desktop or press CTRL+ESC.
