Problems might occur when CDE File Manager attempts to reuse a cached Removable Media Manager file view. This can happen when you close the Removable Media Manager or when you use the Open New View from the View menu in File Manager.

The problems occur under the following conditions:

• If you open a File Manager view from the CDE Front Panel after opening and closing the Removable Media Manager, File Manager fails and the following error dialog box displays:

  The request to service this action has failed for the following reason: TT_ERR_PROCID The process id passwd is not valid.

• If you open a new File Manager view by selecting Open New View from the View menu after opening and closing the Removable Media Manager, File Manager quits immediately.

Workaround: Choose one of the following workarounds:

• If you receive the error message listed previously, follow these steps:

  1. Close the error dialog box.

  2. Click on the File Manager icon in the CDE Front Panel.

     File Manager will open.

• If File Manager fails without displaying the error dialog box, launch File Manager in standalone mode.
