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?

Same problem
Hi LambertR
I also have this problem. I have uninstalled SpyBotSD, rebooted, reinstalled SpyBotSD, and yet still have this problem. I did not have this problem with the earlier version of SpyBotSD (1.5.0).
An error message dialog box that appears refers to an 'OutOfResources' error, and that it cannot create the tray icon for Teatimer.exe.
I too would be interested in any suggestions Safer Networking staff may have as to how to overcome this problem.

Experiencing same problem
I also am experiencing the same "Systems Settings Protector has experienced a problem and needs to close" message on bootup. It occurred after TeaTimer was upgraded to 1.6.1. Reinstallation did not help.
Windows XP Pro SP3, Spybot 1.6.0.30, Norton Internet Security 2008.
Hopefully, if a cluster of these reports develops, something can be done.

Hello,
That message is probably refered to the TeaTimer.
Please rightclick on the TeaTimer icon in the system tray and have a look which version of the TeaTimer you run.
Best regards

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.

2Gb RAM
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.

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

solved my problem
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.

System Settings Protector - TeaTimer
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 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).
