Start Menu Orb Flickers with Windows Home Server Console

[Bob]

Ever since installing Windows Home Server Console on my Vista Home Premium
machine, the Start menu orb flickers on and off randomly. I know it's a
problem with the WHS Console since it goes away after I kill the process in
Task Manager. Anyone else with this problem?

No, I don't have that problem with Home Server Connector on my VHP.
You might try removing and reinstalling the Connector software.

I don't use Windows Home Server (I have Windows Server 2003), but I have
noticed several people that have this issue in these newsgroups. It is a
known problem.

I suggest you search Google Groups with some relevant search terms, as
surely an answer is out there.

Strange- I had it happen on my original install of Vista and then again when
I reinstalled after getting a new hard drive. I even tested the release
candidate of SP1 and it still flickered. I'll try to reinstall the Console
when I get home from work today.

I'll give it a go and see if I can find anything, but doesn't going to a
Google Group kind of defeat the purpose of Vista Communities?

Google Groups archives all the Microsoft newsgroups. I do not think the
Communities web interface for the groups even carries all the groups, and
probably does not archive them either.

Anyway, I found the post that I remembered.
