SharePoint OOTB Workflow Problem

Question

Hi all,

I'm getting this error message when trying to add an approval workflow.

There has been an error while loading the form. A required resource could not be downloaded. To try to resume the download, refresh the page.

Any ideas why?

(Googling didn't find any solutions, was wondering what this community had in mind)

Answer 1

Do you get to the "_layouts/AddWrkfl.aspx" page? If yes, do you get to "_layouts/WrkSetng.aspx"?

If you are not able to get to AddWrkfl.aspx, I would start by disabling any custom workflows (features) and try again. The idea here is when SharePoint loads up the page it collects a list of Workflow Templates deployed to display it on page.

Let me know if you need any further help.
