Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Bug Identified 2004/11/5

All of our software checks if there is a previous instance of it is running. To do this we use .Net code:

Process.GetProcessesByName(Process.GetCurrentProcess.ProcessName)

The purpose of this code is to identify processors running in memory. When Service Pack 1 was installed this code start looking at all disk drives and sometimes (which is very annoying as it sets off virus scanner) it may look at the internet.

Behavior:	Program looks at A: disk; May once set off virus scanner
Severity:	Nuisance
Response:	If program request DNS access block it via virus scanner – it has no effect on the program

Version 2.2.1784.20988 released 2004/11/19

Issue addressed

Single criterion lock/unlock button prompt implied that the button locks/unlocks the criterion children. This is not the case and the prompt was fixed to show single criterion lock/unlock. Please note that locking is intended to protect judgment scores and doesn’t stop the criterion deletion.

Table displays in Prime Option Help were not aligning due to a font translate problem. Table values are now aligned using Courier font.
