Introduction

When end users or system administrators log into either Cisco Unity Web Interfaces - System Admin (http://servername/web/sa), or Personal Communications Assistant (http://servername/pca) and open a web page which has any type of Recording associated with it such as a Recorded Name or Greeting, it is noticed that the media control bar (Media Master) does not have any options available to select. The Media Master appears to hang and does not function correctly.

Problem

When end users or system administrators log into either Cisco Unity Web Interfaces - System Admin (http://servername/web/sa) or Personal Communications Assistant (http://servername/pca) and open a page that has any type of Recording associated with it such as a Recorded Name or Greeting, it is noticed that the media control bar (Media Master) does not have any options available to select. Internet Explorer shows up as "(Not Responding)" in the task manager. Once in this state, Internet Explorer must be terminated by using the "End Task" function from the Windows task manager.

Solution

This problem can be caused by the installation of Goggle Desktop software. This software has a .dll which interferes with the function of Cisco Unity PCA and System Admin. Rename the GoogleDesktopNetwork2.dll to restore function.

Complete these steps to resolve this issue.
