If it fails I have found the only way to start it is to fireup Spybot, go to Tools, Resident – the programme then starts up of its own accord without any error messages.

Am running Skype & Norton.

Yes, TeaTimer will start just fine if done from within SpyBotSD itself. The problem (for me at least) seems to occur only at boot time, and therein lies a clue as to what is going wrong: there seems to be a conflict b/w TeaTimer 's own initialisation and the initialisation of the rest of the PC. I am wondering if this conflict is due to an argument b/w TeaTimer and the antivirus softwares initialisation. This would make sense, as there is no problem with TeaTimer when it is started at any time other than boot-up (and therefore the anti-virus s/w is not initialising).

I am running avast 4.8, BTW.

I would be interested in the SpyBot Tech teams views on this proposition. And thankyou for the software (yes I have donated, and did so gladly).

Ran this link,
Rebooted,
All good, no more System Settings Protect error on boot.

I have the same problem. :sad:

I tried to apply all solutions you suggested, but the problem persist.

When I boot the system there is the problem, if I make "debug" and then start spyboot, on "Utility" -> "resident" the teatimer.exe start and try icon appare...

My OS WINXP sp3
NOD32 antivirus.

Sorry for my bad english I'm italian...

This solution only unload the "SDHelper" and "teatimer" on the resident execution. If you flag the modules the problem persist :red:

For all the others:

It would help us if you can do the following:
Rightclick on "my computer" -> "properties".
Choose advanced.
And then "performance".
Under "virtual memory" choose "changed".
Under custom size in the upper field enter a solid value.
Use the same value in the field below it.

Thanks. :-)
