Spybot will not display

[mellowthreat]

I go to open Spybot program and it goes straight to the box that says "loading Spybot" like it normally has, but once the box closes nothing else happens. I still have it showing on my tool bar, other than that it won't show up. I have had the program a few months with no problems. I am running the 1.5 version. Any suggestions?

Thanks

When was the last time you successfully opened Spybot? What is your OS?

The latest version of Spybot-SD is 1.5.2.20.

 

[mellowthreat]

I successfully opened and ran it two weeks ago. I am running Windows XP SP2.

When you attempted to run Spybot... was it visible in the TaskManager?

 

[mellowthreat]

Yes, and the status was running.

Tell you what... try uninstalling your current version via ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS window from the Control Panel.

Download a fresh copy of Spybot:

At that point, Spybot shouldn't be on your computer. Execute the installer. Let it install, create the registry backup, update, and immunize.

Tell me how it goes.

Uninstalled and then reinstalled.
I have it opened right now and the same thing is happening. It shows on my toolbar, but when I click on it to maximize I get nothing. It is also on my Task Manager as running.
