24x7 Server 2003 causes screen flashing

Hi,

We are having the following problem with 24x7 on a Windows Server 2003 opening an Access 2000 DB. Every now and then MDB will hang and the server will randomly flash repeatedly (screen). The flashing affects all open applications not just 24x7 or the MDB.

When we run this process it downloads attachments from an Exchange 2003 mailbox using Outlook 2002.

Has anyone else had or seen these simptons.

Regards

Toby

I've never heard of anything like this before, but I have a suggestion. If the only purpose of this job is to download an email attachment, why not to use 24x7 for that? Create an email-watch job and check "save attachments" option. Attachments will be saved in the default TEMP directory. If you need them somewhere else code this job to move the downloaded file(s). That's it.
