Systems Settings Protector and TeaTimer Error

[spybotsandra]

Hello,

Could you please do the following for us?

1. Send us your teatimer.exe
2. Open the update folder ( c:\programme\spybot - search & destroy\updates ) and start the teatimer161.exe from there and install it.
Is the error still present?

Best regards

I'm now beginning to wonder if the problem was a corrupted data file because ever since I ran the last update check and downloaded all the new definitions, the problem disappeared.

Do you still want me to follow your steps?

I don't get any Explorer hangs or anything like that.

If I start TeaTimer manually it loads normally, so I suspect the problem only occurs at system startup when everything else is loading too.

Initially it only happened every once in a while but lately it seems to be happening more frequently.

I am running Windows XP with SP3 and all updates.

I have the same problem for a while. I am running Windows XP Prof. SP3 with all Spybot-Updates.
First I get the following window on startup:

TeaTimer.exe - Fehler in Anwendung
Die Ausnahme "Unbekannter Softwarefehler" (0x0eedfade) ist in der Anwendung an der Stelle 0x7c812aeb aufgetreten.
OK Abbrechen

If I close this window I get the next error window with:

Application Error
Exception EOutOfResources in module TeaTimer.exe at 000468FC.
Cannot create shell notification icon.
OK

How it was said before from Tipperton everything is okay after startup of my system except Spybot with TeaTimer is not loaded. If I start it manually everything is okay. This happens not every time I start my system.

Now I'll try what spybotsandra proposed and report whether this solved the problem.

Hello,

At first please download the new TeaTimer version 1.6.2 through the integrated updater in Spybot.
You can also download it manually. It is available here.

As all who have reported this problem seem to use Windows XP,
this could probably be related to the service pack 3 update.

The "Ostuni Workaround" should help.

This seems to fix the problem. Thanks.

I had the same issue and been trying to find a work around. Finally found this forum and the only post is a scolding to a user regarding his post floods. I did find a solution... I uninstalled the whole program. Error went away and system boots just fine. Not sure what I will use for spyware detection so the search for a replacement starts now.

Really too bad because I have used Spybot S&D for several years and installed it on my family's computers as well my my clients who are home users. I generally only install and use applications such as these that I am using myself and familar setting up.

Best of luck to SpyBot S&D and thank you for your product up to this point.
