Spyware Guard startup problem

[rocknman]

When I log on after about a minute or two, I get a Runtime Error 2147024703 (800700c1) Automation Error. %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

It was working fine before; I was uninstalling a couple programs (Music Jukebox and some math program by Design Science.

I am running XP Pro
Spybot Search & Destroy
AdAware SE
Firewall - Sysgate 5.5 build 2710
WinPatrol
Arovax Shield
Avast 4.6

I've tried uninstalling SG, tried to install Windows Script 5.6 (having an issue with it).

Suggestions?

Thanks!

scripten.exe -Bad Image

The application DLL C:\WINDOWS\systems32\MFC42.DLL is not a valid Windows image.

and

error registering the OCX C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbscript.dll

Does this help?

[snowbound]

I'm certainly no expert when it comes to these errors but as to the second one u might try to register that file yourself,

Also have u tried downloading the newest Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 as seen on the troubleshooting page,

{QUOTE-> tried to install Windows Script 5.6 (having an issue with it). <-QUOTE}It a lot of cases with this error Windows Script 5.6 has successfully fixed the problem. What problems are you having installing Windows Script 5.6 :-\

My 1st reply above (scripten.exe ...) is what I get. I followed the advice of snowbound. Was able to install VB6. However, when I tried to register the file manually, the computer response was that it was not necessary.
