MS Message: System Settings Protector has encounted a problem and needs to close

How much RAM do those of you with this problem have in your PC?

I have 2 Gb of RAM in the machine experiencing the ongoing problems with TeaTimer.

Have you made a snapshot of the system startup?.

First disable Teatimer - put Spybot into Advanced mode, click on Tools, click on resident and remove the tick from Resident Teatimer. Exit Spybot via the File/Exit - not the red cross then reboot (others may dispute the need for the reboot, but it's a good belt and braces approach)

Once the PC is back up and running, start Spybot and with it in Advanced mode click on Tools, then System Startup. Right click anywhere in the screen that appears, and then click on create snapshot.

Exit Spybot, again via the File/Exit not the red cross, restart it again and retick teatimer.

Please post back and let's know if that made any difference.

I have 2Gb RAM, P4 3.0Ghz, Win XP Pro SP3.

I have tired of the problem, and reinstalled SpyBotSD 1.5.2. Since doing so I have not had any further troubles.

For those of you who would like to try the same, you can download older versions of SpyBotSD from here:

Good luck all.

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?

Between one and the 'resident has encountered an error...' tea timer is making me crazy

I also get the message System Settings Protector has encountered a problem.

My PC is running XP Home SP3 1.5Gb RAM

Is there a fix yet for this?

I had been encountering the same message on a version prior to 1.6. I uninstalled the program entirely. Coincidentally, I had ordered some new RAM since I was running Vista on the 1gb that was installed by mfg and I upgraded to 2 the moment it arrived in my mailbox. I reinstalled Spybot plus teatimer and have been running for two days now without a single instance of the systems protection message.

Hello,

Please download the new TeaTimer version 1.6.1.23.
It is available here.

Just replace the old TeaTimer.exe file with the new one.
It should be stored in your Spybot folder.
C:\Programms\Spybot - Search & Destroy\TeaTimer.exe

Best regards

In my system (WinXP Home SP3, SBS&D 1.6.0.30) TeaTimer is inside Updates subfolder (C:\ProgFiles\SBS&D\Updates\TeaTimer.exe).

The message I get every Win starting is the same other peoples does. In the error report I can read that error refers to "C:\DOCUMEN~1\USER\LOCALS~1\Temp\a20f_appcompat.txt".

Sorry by my english, I'm a brazilian...

I'm looking for a solution too...

Big hug to everyone!

I also have gotten the same as Andre. Here is what the error report says:

System Settings Protector
Error Signature
AppName: teatimer.exe
AppVer: 1.6.2.23
ModName: kernel32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.5512
Offset: 00012aeb

I have replaced TeaTimer.exe with the new version, and it still crashes on boot, exactly as before.

I did the same, and it crashes just like the same way...and I have two entries in SB S&D in the system startup programs list for TeaTimer, both with the same path (C:\prgfiles\SB S&D\TeaTimer.exe).

In my system, TeaTimer is in "Updates" subfolder (C:\prgfiles\SB S&D\Updates\TeaTimer.exe).

I'm looking for a solution too...

Big hug!
