I think that Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4 doesn`t works on Windows 98 SE but in Windows 98 Spybot - Search & Destroy will not work.Still need time for Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5 (or 2.3,10)...

Spybot S&D 1.4 DID work correctly under my WinME computer. cthoppe may want to try un-installing Spybot 1.4 off his computer, download a clean version and re-install Spybot 1.4. If that does not work out, use Win98se's System File Checker tool [SFC.EXE] and restore a clean version of the KERNEL32.DLL file if the KERNEL32.DLL file turns out to be corrupted.

I'll try running Spybot 1.4 on my next-door neighbor's win98se pc.

and spybot 1.4 seems to run correctly on the Win98 SE computer.

when does the Spybot 1.4 crash occur, cthoppe? during startup or during a scan?

I think that I created a mistake.
Windows 95 is not supported for SpyBot-Search & Destroy 1.4,but Windows 98 is supported for Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4.
BTW,To me temperature is 26°C Min. 38°C Max.

yup, you got it Tom.K. more accurately Spybot 1.4 does not work under Win95 but does work under Win98 & higher.

It always seems to crash right near the end of the scan.

Do you think that it could be a memory problem? I have 768MB of RAM on my system.

I'm going to restore the Kernel32.dll file and try it again.

how fast is your computer? you can check CPU speed from Microsoft System Information tool or from the DirectX Diagnostic tool (dxdiag.exe).

also are there any other programs running while doing a scan with Spybot (such as an antivirus program)? shut down other programs before running Spybot.

and if it does turn out to be a memory problem, please read Microsoft KB article 253912 on how to resolve large memory problems under Win95, 98 or ME:
