I just loaded the newest version of the beta. I installed it as the
administrator. It does not start when I log on as Fred (a member of the
administrators group). I get a dialog box that says - Unexpected error;
quitting. Then a second dialog box: Error Loading Microsoft AntiSpyware-
warning:Microsoft
Windows AntiSpyware has encounter a critical error (error 101.) Please
restart Windows AntiSpyware and run the program again. If you contine to
experience this problem, please unistall the program and install the most
recent version of Windows AntiSpyware. You can use Add or Remove Programs in
Control Panel to unistall this version of Windows AntiSpyware.

I did that but come up with the same results.

Carey,
I failed to mention that i am running service pack 2. And I was running the
prior beta for a very long time.
I am certain it has to do with the registry because I can get it to work if
initiate the process via a cmd file that looks like this.

runas /savecred /user:administrator "D:\Program Files\Microsoft
AntiSpyware\GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe"

I will have to search the registry for the correct entries under currentuser
and see what is wrong with the privileges. Do you know what they might be?
 
After the install you have to run through the mini-setup wizard as the
administrator user (or the user that did the install). If not a piece
of the application doesn't fully install and crashes when you try to run
the app. I had the same problem.

Raymond,
I think I did that but... i am certainly willing to try again! Thank you
for the tip and I will let you know how it works out.
 
When I logged in as OWNER, I kept getting the same error message ("Unexpected
Error; Quitting"), and when I tried to uninstall the program, I got the
message: " Error 1905- Module failed to unregister." Suddenly the program
uninstalled itself, and when I tried to reinstall it, I got the error
message: "Erroe 1904- Module failed to register." I was finally able to
uninstall the whole thing, and it disappeared from my desktop icon and from
the Control Board Add/Remove List. I havce not yet installed any other free
antispyware program. Any suggestions???
