Error with SpyBot

[Trinity01]

Having an error with Spybot. Was wondering if this has to do with the Sd-Resident, or Tea timer since there was a update with a newer version of this?
I am using Win 7 64-bit Ultimate.

Any suggestions, comments would help.

This is the event log entry:

Hello,

When do you get this error?
When you open Spybot?
Or when you try to fix found items after a scan?

I have the identical error on Win7 x64. Nothing I do causes it; I only rarely run Spybot. Presumably it's related to TeaTimer?

It seems to occur twice a day, each error within a minute or two of the other. So it looks like a scheduled event is trying to run. Whether it succeeds or fails I can't tell.

Hope this helps:

I'll try running it again and find out if i can narrow it down some. I also had the same problem as Snarl, when I noticed the new update for TeaTimer 1.6.6, the update/installer tried to delete the old file or something; I had a popup, 'Couldnt delete a read-only file'. It would have 2 instances of TeaTimer running ( noticed this while doing the update in the task bar ) then one would stop, presuming it was the older version, by the way of 2 icons showing up and one stopping.

Any ideas?

I searched my systems event log and have 6 instances of the same thing.

Spybot doesn't show the error while running or after fixing whatever shows up after a scan. Its random last 'error' was at 1230 this morning.

I don't recall telling you im using Win 7 x64 Ult RTM.

I have looked up on google that 'Activation context generation' and seem to get a lot of hits on this note all with different applications too.

in spybots' instance its always line 8 within DelZip179.dll.

Any comments?

Did I miss the solution? Sorry... Can someone tell me what it is again? THANKS!

I am using Windows 7 64 bit.

I get this error every few days. I am not using the program when the errors take place. The error happens at 2 different points on the same day.

Another program also gets an error at the same 2 points in the day. This other program is Corel Paint Shop Pro.

These are the errors:

1. Event ID 63 Activation context generation failed for "c:\program files (x86)\spybot - search & destroy\DelZip179.dll".Error in manifest or policy file "c:\program files (x86)\spybot - search & destroy\DelZip179.dll" on line 8.

Corel Paint Shop Pro.

1. Event ID 33 Activation context generation failed for "c:\Program Files (x86)\Corel\Corel PaintShop Photo Pro\X3\PSPClassic\Python Libraries\Lib\distutils\command\wininst-8_d.exe".

Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

(Today at 12:04:39am & 7:18:08pm)

I do not understand the connection between the two programs.

I see a few others are having the same error with Spybot.
