Yes you were Joan, thank you, as long as I get there in the end, that's all that matters :D left to my own devices I would never get things sorted out

Brink,

If you mean the privilege level from right clicking S&D's icon in properties, then I can't check that box as its greyed out

Strange, it should not be. See if you can do it with the main C:\Program Files (x86)\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe file.

Hi Brink,

No I am sorry to say that it is still greyed out

Strange, use the methods listed below for the tutorial below to see if we cannot force it to run as administrator.

1. For step 5C, use C:\Program Files (x86)\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe

2. For step 5E, use RUNASADMIN

Well I tried that and I noticed that there is a tick in the privilege box, but its still greyed out, and the problem remains that when I start S&D it tells me there are a number of temp files blah blah, and I have a few seconds to choose yes or no, I chose yes and then it still says "files in use and cannot be removed"

I am sorry that all your time and effort to help are not working for me

Maybe I have the wrong version of Spybot? its version 1.6 though, and that is the latest I think

1.6 is the latest version of Spybot.

Well, I suppose that the temp files are just still currently being used then, and just cannot be deleted yet. If you really need to delete them, then you may be able to from within Safe Mode.

So long as they would'nt slow my system down, I would leave them be, but at just over 110 it seems alot, but if they have no effect on things I would leave alone

Thanks Brink :D

You're welcome Jekyll and Hyde. That would probably be best. If ain't broken, then don't break it.
