Spybot 1.5 not Work on Win98
April 26, 2008
I have been using SB v1.4 on my old PC with Win98. I saw on your compatibility page > Supported Operating systems > Windows 98: Fully Functional.
:red:Question: Which version does this refer to, 1.4 or 1.5?
If it's 1.5, then after I had a successful install (at least, it appeared that way), when I try to start SB v1.5, this error msg. comes up:
Spybot: Application Error
Exception Eaccess Violation in Module SPYBOT.EXE at 002E609B in Module 'SPYBOT.EXE'.
Read of Address FFFFFFFF
[I have no idea what any of this means!]
I'm sorry but I can't remember :sad: the whole exact version numbers of the 1.5 I tried to run. But it was what ever was the latest one on your download page. This was 3 days ago. I have reverted back to SB v1.4, which works real good on my PC.
OS: Windows 98 4.10.1998 [plus all critical updates until MS dropped support for Win98] FAT32
