Nothing in Document Setting nor Program Files

[Sundancer2008]

I have Spybot - S&D 1.6 but something strange has happened. When we install it usually there are programs in Document Setting and in Program Files. I have nothing, I checked the wastebasket, found them did a restore and the disappeared.

Would I be better to uninstall and re-install?

Your post is somewhat vague. I do not understand what what you are trying to say.

Can you please clarify? Where is this "Document" and Program Files?

[Sundancer2008]

When you click on 'start' then 'work place' then 'Disc C' after which you can choose to double click either 'document settings which gives C:\Documents and Settings or 'programs files which gives C:\Program Files.

After clicking 'start' then accessories I find Spybot -S&D with the following items:
- Spybot - S&D
-Tutorial
-Uninstall Spybot - S&D
-Update Spybot - S&D
- Spybot - S&D (advanced)
Usually I can find these in 'documents and settings'
BUT THERE IS NOTHING

In 'program files" all I find is the Spybot -S&D file folder but it is empty and before it would have the different programs in Spybot.

Is there any way I can retrieve these files or am I better off to uninstall and re-install?

Basically you're saying that there is nothing in the Programs Folder?

Can you start Spybot-SD?

Exactly. I realized this when I wanted to go into 'TeaTimer' properties to remove the check at 'read only' because I need to change a deny to accept.



Can you start Spybot-SD?[/FONT]

Yes I can. Ran it yesterday and it found no problems.

Wow, this really confuses me... A program running without any Program Files.

Alright, try to uninstall Spybot-Search&Destroy and perform a fresh install from here:

But first disable TeaTimer and SDHelper via Advanced Mode.

Thanks I will let you know what happened.

[Sundancer2008]

Uninstalled and reinstalled Spybot-S&D as you recommended. As you recommended I disabled TeaTimer & SD Helper during the download. When it was finished I did an update, and ran Spybot. No problems were found.

All seemed to go well. Now to activate Teatimer & SD helper do I just put checks in the boxes in Resident (TeaTimer & SD Helper) or do I need to do something special.

Nothing special : ).
How are the Program Files doing?

[Sundancer2008]

All the components are there so far.

I don't know why I am have trouble with Spybot - S&D. It seem to go well for a while and them it doesn't.

Thank you very much for you help.
