Best method for updating from 1.4 to 1.5
Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to update? I have made some setting changes to 1.4, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if I lost them. It's just that I have heard that some people are having issues updating. For some reason, the update feature in Spybot isn't detecting the new version (it did for 1.4), so I guess I'll have to do it manually, which is fine. I'm sure I'll have to uninstall 1.4 first (right?). But I was wondering if there was anything else I should do so that everything goes smoothly.
Thanks,

Problems with new version SpyBot S&D 1.5
Sandra suggested:
S> You can install over the old version.
I am a longtime user. Have XP pro running on a 2.4G Pentium on an Intel MoBo I built maybe three years ago. Spybot S&D has been part of my system for even longer.
Several days ago I DL'd and installed 1.5 and as you suggest, did so over 1.4 with zero difficulty. After installation I noticed it took a l-o-n-g time for 1.5 to open, and while Dling updates it locked up, givjng me the 'program unresponsive' dialogue box. I closed S&D and restarted.
Same s=l=o=w opening, and while Dling updates it locked
up again. I uninstalled 1.5 and reinstalled 1.4 where everything is now as it was.
Is anyone else experiencing a very slow program opening and lockups while downloading updates?
