I'm not sure if this is the correct newsgroup for my question because I
don't know if this is a Vista problem or something else. I am using Vista
Home Premium (full version, not OEM), running on a Dell 530 desktop that is
only 3 months old. I have Windows firewall and AVG free running. I
connected via cable and am using a Linksys wireless-G router. I run Adaware
almost daily and Spybot Search & Destroy on a weekly basis.
AdAware has never detected any major problems -- there always some files to
delete but never any *critical* problems. Spybot never reported any
problems at all, until today. However, today SpyBot reported ErrorSmart (1
entry) as a problem. When I tried to "fix" the problem," SpyBot responded
with an error message and could not fix the problem.
The error message says:
Unexpected error in fixing problems
(Cannot create file "C:\Windows\wininit.ini". Access is denied)
I rebooted, ran AdAware (no problems detected), then re-ran SpyBot. The same
problem occurred.
When I click on the "+" beside ErrorSmart (within SpyBot) to expand, it
returns this information:
(SBI $C6597282) Web page
C:\Program Files\ErrorSmart\ErrorSmart.url
(Incidentally, I'm not sure if the message is SBI or SB1.)
Can someone on this newsgroup help? I don't have any idea what caused the
problem (or even what this problem means), and I have no idea how to fix it.
Thanks,
MaryL
