I got this reply from the company hosting my Cold Fusion MX Server.  Is there 
any validity to this?  Can someone please help?

There was one issue created by MS in a patch that was released on the Oct patch 
group. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909444 just reading the document will 
certainly point out what we have to go through to support ever single issue 
that comes down. I have just corrected this problem on the machine but if it 
continues I say go as the error message indicates and follow what ever CF has 
to say about it. In fact I hate CFMX so much I have removed all support for the 
product from our network. I still support their version 5 of the product, and 
to me personally this was the last stable release that ran well in windows. 
 
The things you are reporting about the CF administrator are without a doubt 
things that should be taken up with MM. This is certainly not the 
responsibility of the company that hosts the machine. I have simply had too 
many issues about the same topic and totally amazed the thing is still 
supported by anyone. I keep praying that adobe will make the product do what 
they claim. The facts are that in the last year alone the number of CF sites on 
the web have dropped dramatically, and I am sure the answer lies right at 
Macromedia. I realize that it is easier to simply write the person hosting your 
box for this answer but this is not a machine issue at all. You have to 
appreciate that the machine is not failing at all. I have a large client who I 
have had to change our policy as a result of their handling of IIS. I have 
installed the I386 folder to their machines and let them blow up IIS now as 
they wish. 
 
On closing seems since you will clearly be contacting CF perhaps as a purchaser 
of the product one should ask them why CFMX still to this day cannot write 
details well to the event viewer. Any DotNet app can be written to the event 
viewer. I understand as well as anyone how dishearten it is to purchase 
something like this. I would certainly make certain that you keep all these 
issues in mind before considering support for version 7 of their product.
 
Here are the paths to logs written by CF on the machine and clearly places you 
should already be very familiar.
C:\CFusionMX\runtime\logs
C:\CFusionMX\logs
 
Keep this clean
C:\CFusionMX\Mail\Undelivr
