Evaluation version of ActiveX controls and Crystal UFLs do not display on Windows Server 2003

Operating System: Windows Server 2003

Products:
    IDAutomation PDF417 Barcode Font Encoder and Crystal UFL (Evaluation version only)
    IDAutomation Data Matrix Barcode Font Encoder and Crystal UFL (Evaluation version only)

Problem:
 Applications using the products mentioned above will terminate unexpectedly, return no data, or cause a general protection fault error in Crystal Reports. 

The problem is created when the evaluation version warning message box is displayed. If the program Microsoft Messenger (not the same as MSN or Windows Messenger) is not running, the messages will be suppressed causing the application to terminate unexpectedly.

Make sure that the Microsoft Messenger Service is running.

Services can be accessed in two ways:

1. RIGHT click on the My Computer Icon and then select Manage.
2. Under Computer Management click on the Services tab.

From there, locate the Messenger Service and RIGHT click on the service and select START.
(NOTE: Once the server is re-booted the Messenger Service will be disabled again or to manually disable the service follow the instructions above and select STOP when right clicking the Messenger service.)
