SYMPTOMS
When you remove Windows components using the Windows Setup program, the
Windows Setup screen shifts to the background after you remove the
component. When you try to bring Windows Setup to the foreground or double-
click the Windows Setup icon in Task Manager, Windows appears to stop
responding (hang). Windows Setup may not return control from several
minutes.
NOTES:
- This behavior does not occur when you are reinstalling Windows
components.
- The screen savers or wallpapers that you selected to remove are indeed
removed from the hard disk.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups
3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
