Error 101

[James]

I've tried everything that people say to do to fix this
problem, but none of them work. I've tried updating the
program and that didn't work. this message pops-up when
i try to open antispyware. it will run when i boot up
the computer, but as soon as i try to open the program,
error 101 pops up.

can someone help me please?

It'd help to actually have a list of what you've tried--there's a pretty
long list for this error.

Are you running as an administrator on your machine?

If you have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, have you tried uninstalling
and reinstalling in a non-default location, such as c:\masa ?

Have you checked that the DCOM service is running?

One way to do this is, at a command prompt:

sc query dcomlaunch <enter>

One of the results you should see is STATE: 4 RUNNING
