Dealing with a Task-Pad Error

Rating: (0)

I regularly get an annoying error message from Enterprise Manager when I try to view database information through the Task Pad view. Figure 1 shows the dialog box that displays the error message. When I click Yes or No, Enterprise Manager continues but doesn't display the information in the Task Pad view. I've searched the Microsoft Knowledge Base but haven't found any information about this error message. How can I get the Task Pad view to work correctly?

I already know that toggling to another view and then back to the taskpad will make it go away... I want to know why I get the error and how to resolve the problem. Not exactly a big fix!

Actually ... I have IE 6.0 on XP and still get that error. However, I found a similar workaround in seconds, as the other person commented. And another DBA and at least one developer in our shop gets it too, so I can't believe it didn't rear its head during testing. Inexcusable, IMHO.

The best way to make the Task Pad view work correctly is to install Internet Exlorer (IE) 6.0. You won't have this error anymore.
