I get a type of error window on start up. It is a box. The
title is "gsasDtServHolder" below the header is three of
the red/yellow/black icons. On the right side there seems
to be button bars that overlap each other. Top to bottom
they
read: "systrayhide", "systrayshow", "systraynormal", "systr
ayscanning", and "systrayupdating". I get no responce when
i click on any of them. When I colse the box I do not have
the icon in my systray. So the only way that i know that
the program is running is by checking the task manager.
There I find "gcasDtServ.exe" and "gcasServ.exe" running.
The CPU usage flashes intermittently. So what's up with
the start up window. I am also running 512mb of ram and
have noticed that this program uses a substantial amount
of memory to run. ~19000k
 
Are you running multi monitor?

The window you are seeing (Yes, others have too, I've even seen it once!) is
meant to be hidden--so when it is visible it's a bug.

The background services gc* shouldn't use a lot of ram or CPU--if they are,
there's a bug of some sort involved. If you leave the foreground GIANT*
executable running, I believe I've heard there's a leak.....
 
What other security software is installed ... NIS ?

Go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. Click on MSAS.
Click the Change button, then Next, choose the Update option, click Next.
Did that correct the issue ? If not, please post back with the info on
already installed security software.

I did what you suggested. It actually created the box to
appear. I am running AVG (Free Version) updated. Zone
Alarm (Free Version) updated. Also running FreeRAM XP Pro
1.40. and Evidence Eliminator V5.0. My system by MSI is an
Intel Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.7GHz, 512 MB of RAM. Windows XP
Home SP2 Updated. Thanks for trying to help.
 
On suggestion which I have used to correct a similar
issue with another app.

Check your video drivers. Mine from NVidia has an option
with the nView Desktop Manager, under the Windows
options, to "Prevent windows from opening off-screen".
If that is enabled, disable it and see if the problem
goes away.
