Program closes when I "check for problems"

[smray]

I am running version 1.4 B2 on Windows XP.
When I click "check for problems", the program shuts down. I went to the configuration file and zero'd out all values, no help, so I deleted the file. Still no help. Any ideas?

I have no idea what started your problem, but you are running on an unsupported version of Spybot (Spybot 1.4 B2). You should consider upgrading to Spybot 1.4. There are four (4) download sites for Spybot-S&D 1.4 here:

Uninstall Spybot-S&D 1.3: FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How to uninstall?
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/27.htmlInstall Spybot-S&D 1.4:
Execute spybotsd14.exe download above.
Do not change the default installation path of:C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
Make sure that you update Sptbot-S&D 1.4 before running a scan.
Note: If you upgrade and use TeaTimer be aware of the following:
There is currently a bug in TeaTimer 1.4. Portions of TeaTimer's popup dialog overlay the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons. On my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing and I am still able to select the options. I also can check "Remember this decision" since it is visible. If no portion of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing, you can answer TeaTimer's popup dialog (English language version) by pressing "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". If you close the dialog without answering "Allow change" or "Deny change" the registry change is denied. Note that if you close the popup dialog without answering it the registry change will be denied.

If you can't deal with the problem that way until it is fixed, you can:
Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:

Disable TeaTimer as follows:

Uncheck the following:Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have reloaded and it seems to be working fine.
