dear md usa spybot fan;
I also ran into this problem using version 1.4.something,
and followed procedure to update to version 1.5.2 sucessfully.
Rerunning the spybot, then everything worked well, all done as normal from my wifes login where it has always been.
then, I logged her off and opened my user icon, and my local settings were lost.
It had regressed back to what looked like original xp-pro setting. message was that computer could not find my "locally stored profile", so it opened a temp profile wherein changes could not be stored...
any ideas on how to get my locally stored profile back to where it was"
any help is apreciated, as i am a bit computer challanged.
thanks
