CAUSE

This problem occurs because of one of the following causes.

"Script Error" Error Message

This problem occurs if your remote access phone book entry points to a remote access script file. Programs that use the Win32 RasDial function do not work after you upgrade to Windows 2000 SP4 because of a dependency that involves the Rasscrpt.dll file.

Note The problem does not occur if you connect to the remote access server by using the dial-up connection entry in the Network and Dial-up Connections folder.

"Cannot Load Dialog. Error 0xc000007a:" Error Message

This problem may occur if the Show terminal window option is turned on in the Windows 2000 remote access properties or in the dial-up networking connection properties.
