After installing Spybot 2.0.12, Windows won't start. I get the Windows Starting screen but then the screen goes black, apart from some messages that flash on the screen so fast that they can't be read.
This is with Windows 8 Release Preview 64 bit running in a virtual machine.
Spybot v2.0.11 had been running okay apart from the updating problems (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=432950#post432950). I uninstalled v2.0.11 and restarted before installing v2.0.12.
After installing v2.0.12 I was able to update the definitions, but when I tried to open the Task Scheduler I got a side by side error and the scheduler wouldn't open. I thought that the system may need to be restarted, so restarted, but then the system wouldn't start as I've described above.
I've tried to restart a few more times, all with the same result. Windows won't even start in safe mode.
Let me know if you want me to test anything, though I'm not sure what I'll be able to do.
