MS Message: System Settings Protector has encounted a problem and needs to close
After installing SybotS&D 1.6 I get the message on boot up of "System Settings Protector has encounted a problem and needs to close". If I report the problem to MS, and follow the related MS link it tells me SybotS&D is the problem. I've researched the solution on the web but none of the solutions offered work. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
Experiencing same problem
I also am experiencing the same "Systems Settings Protector has experienced a problem and needs to close" message on bootup. It occurred after TeaTimer was upgraded to 1.6.1. Reinstallation did not help.
Windows XP Pro SP3, Spybot 1.6.0.30, Norton Internet Security 2008.
Hopefully, if a cluster of these reports develops, something can be done.
Same Problem With a Twist
I get the same error message but I did not update to 1.6. I am getting it on 1.5.2 It seems to have started after the last huge bunch of Windows updates that automatically installed to my Vista machine.
How to inspect version of Teatimer if Teatimer crashes?
Dear Sandra:
I can't click on the TeaTimer to determine its version because, as stated by every message in this thread, the TeaTimer crashes on boot. :sad:
New TeaTimer binary doesn't solve problem
I have replaced TeaTimer.exe with the new version, and it still crashes on boot, exactly as before.
