Problem Starting Up Version 1.5.1.15

[kaplan71]

Hi there --

I have a Windows XP/SP2 system running on a Dell Precision 670 workstation dual xeon. I just completed the installation of version 1.5.1.15 of SpyBot S&D, and I noticed that it takes several tries before the application launches.

Has anyone seen this, knows what the cause is, and how it can be fixed? Thanks.

There were many reports of Spybot 1.5.1.15 starting slowly. The problem has been found and fixed. See the following tracking task (which includes a link for a fix to the problem):

In addition there are another beta versions of Spybot 1.5 that solve the slow start as well as other known problems that have been encountered since the original release of Spybot 1.5. The latest is:

Hi,

I'm on a Dell Inspiron Core 2 Duo running Vista Home Premium. After installation of version 1.5, I also encountered the 1-minute-lag before the program actually starts up, where resource use also spike up to almost 100%. Does this mean I have to install a beta fix to solve the problem?

Thanks!

Kaplan,

Try downloading ver. 1.5.1.17 this is suppose to fix slow loading.
