SYMPTOMS

For no apparent reason, WINS Manager suddenly disappears (terminates).

CAUSE

A WINS Manager thread attempting to automatically refresh the statistics on the main WINS Manager window conflicts with another thread. This usually happens when other dialog boxes are opened or closed.

WORKAROUND

In the Preferences dialog box, clear the Auto Refresh check box or set the Auto Refresh Interval to a higher value (in number of seconds).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.50. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
