    Default more info on another thread

    Well looks like this thread is not being followed up anymore.

    There is another thread here

    http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=32484

    Looks like a problem with latest teatimer update - der

    1 post has gone to a previous version 1.5.2 and has no problem anymore.

    But if updating again it of course installs new teatimer and causes problem.

    others have uninstalled / re-installed etc, but get same error.

    There are questions are about RAM - but this has nothing to do with error.

    So, to solve error for a while maybe un-instal and re-install 1.5.2 for the time being until fix of teatimer.

    doobie1,

    This would appear to be a complex issue if only because of the number of permutations possible in terms of both hardware, operating systems and other software being used, and the fact that many, perhaps even the majority of users are not experiencing these probems with Teatimer (the system settings protector). For instance I have it running on three different computers and have no problems with it at all. So I would not expect a very quick solution although I'm sure the program authors are doing their best to see if they can resolve the issue. In the meantime, I would suggest that going backwards to version 1.5.2.20 is not the best solution. I would instead recommend simply staying with version 1.6.0.30 or 31 which ever you have but disabling Teatimer. Start Spybot, put it into advanced mode, then click on Tools, then Resident, then untick the box next to Teatimer. Close Spybot -a reboot would also then not hurt.

    Team Spybot,

    Feel free to request other information, i.e. programs I run, operating system, computer specifications, etc.

    Hello,

    Please open the registry editor by:
    (a)
    press windowskey + r then enter "regedit" (without quotation marks)
    or
    (b)
    click on "start" , then "run" and enter "regedit" (without quotation marks)

    (a+b)
    and then browse to the path under:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Safer Networking Limited\SpybotSnD

    Please export the key "run" by rightclicking on it and choosing export. If you export, export only the selected structure.
    Give the file a name like teatimer.reg and attach it to your next email you submit to us to detections(at)spybot.info .
    If possible also add the file or files referenced to a zip or rar archive and add them to your reply.
    Thanks. :-)

    Hello,

    Could you please do the following for us?

    1. Send us your teatimer.exe
    2. Open the update folder ( c:\programme\spybot - search & destroy\updates ) and start the teatimer161.exe from there and install it.
    Is the error still present?

    Best regards

    Recently I had to completely re-install XP.
    One of the last components I installed was SpyBot S&D.
    (Help-About reports v1.6..0.30 whilst the systems setting protector is currently v1.6.2.23)
    TeaTimer has been working great, right up to the point where I installed LiveMessenger...
    Since then it's been the usual story with the Settings Protector pop-up at every boot up. Do you want/need any logs from me at all?
    If so what/how etc. !!
