I was big fan of spybot until now. When I try clean up somebody computer with Spybot beta 2.0 on Windows XP machine, after reboot I couldn't get back to the system because "command.com" window. I do not know how it is possible after 3 years knowledge of this problem, Spybot Team did not fixed it.
This is what I did about : keep ESC button pressed unil the command window is gone and you can acces the system and run Spybot, disable all services in settings, restart - it should be without problems then uninstall Spybot :-(

Make Known Bugs thread including "Before posting a bug"?
I have one question: Spybot 2.0 is BETA. That doesn't mean it's for use on every PC, as it's not stable. It's really bad idea to actually install that on someone's PC if someone actually doesn't still know bugs around it. A novice user will have problems with it. You were supposed to install 1.6.2 until 2.0 becomes stable.
I posted a "help" request under my name tikigirl on 6/7 after doing a clean-up which changed my desktop and disabled most all of my programs. I was just forwarded your response. I do recall being directed to reboot my sytem so clean up could be completed, which I did. I read yor response, and probably what I did was download the beta version (which was not a good idea being a novice) rather than the other one which is mentioned. I'm just not sure what to do because I don't see that command window, so not sure about using the ESC button, etc. Should I download the other version and rerun it ? I want to be careful so I don't complicate my problems further. I used Spybot a month or two ago, after doing the tutorial and it was perfect. Thank you all for your kind help and patience with my questions. It's much appreciated.

I want to thank you so much for this fix. I followed what you wrote verbatim and got back in to my computer. I'll send you the startup file and hope you can send me a answer. Also can you tell the right updater on the list from the spybot updates, every time I update I the immunise program goes more towards to side of unprotected. I've never been able to get all file immunised after the first update??
Thanks Again
Nick

thank god I came across your thread befor I reinstalled. The only reason I did not, I had a guest account which I was able to reach normaly. Only my Adminaccount I could not use. Via Save mode I tried to add a new admin account but I also got the same error message when loggin in. Only after using the option above I was saved from reinstalling windows xp and loosing all my data . After deleting all com and cmd I noticed I lost a few shortcuts which seem to have interacted with facebook. (Sorry about my english i tried my best)
I tried to add the startupfile but it has 80.6 kb it exeeds the upload limit
this is what helped me
