Installation problem with Windows 7

Spybot forum,
I recently downloaded Spybot2 onto my XP laptop. It
installed and is running correctly. I then downloaded
and installed in on a Windows 7 laptop and when I re-booted
it continues to ask me if it is OK to make changes. This
message never goes away and even prevents me from starting
the windows Task Manager. There was a web site that said
I could temproarily disable Spybot but the instructions
didn't work. I had to start in safe mode and remove Spybot.

I would like to install this again but need help avoiding
this problem.

Thanks for any reply,
jerdonald

Win7 requires additional administrator rights than XP. Run Spybot from an admin user account, and use right click > Run as Administrator for functions. See:

yes, try it like this, if you have not done so sofar and also tempoary disable any other Security-Software during the Setup. You can reanble the Security-Software after the reboot after you installed Spybot.
