Hello, I've used SpybotS&D for years on Windows XP with no problems. I've now moved to Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. When I installed Spybot from a fresh download everything was fine until the "creating registry entries" section.
The installation stopped and an error window appeared:
"Error writing to registry key: HKEY_Current_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
RegSetValueEx failed; code 5.
Access is denied.
My next choices were Abort, Retry (which failed to achieve anything) or Ignore.
I tried Ignore and the installation completed as usual.
During the install I selected to include SDHelper and TeaTimer but there is no TeaTimer icon in my notification area and TeaTimer is not selected on the Resident page. If I tick the TeaTimer box I get error msg: Failed to set data for "Spybot TeaTimer"
I had disabled AVG, I tried uninstalling fully using the methods described in other threads, including the "remove Spybot settings" registry editor, and deleting left over folders in Program Files and Program Data.
I have "installed as Administrator" and "Run as Administrator". I've tried the direct install link. All with the same results.
Everything else seems to work as normal just TeaTimer causing me grief.
Have I missed something ? Is this a known error/bug ?
Can anybody please help ?
Thanks in anticipation.
