Has anyone every noted problems accessing the CCA from a web toolbar? On IE and Firefox (not sure about other browsers), this causes a message to display that the application cannot be closed. You have to use the computer Task Manager to close the CCA or restart your computer to close the CCA. The message also displays some “Chinese” characters. When the application is launched from the desktop, it closes properly.
