I have been running the new Spidermail since it came out of the beta stage and everything seemed to run smoothly. However on bootup this morning the box came up 'Spidermail is not installed would you like to install'. On accepting this I then received a 'SpiderMail Installation error'.

Then I noticed on this site that a new version of Dr Web was available with an integrated SpiderMail. Therefore, I uninstalled, cleaned up with a registry cleaner and installed. On rebooting, after applying my keyfile, Dr Web did not appear. I then installed again as suggested and again nothing came up in the system tray or in running processes. Very Strange! ??? ???

I then uninstalled, installed back the previous 'spidermailess' version and then installed the new version over this which it recognised- it asked me about the new integrated spidermail - and got the program up and running again but without spidermail again!!

Spidermail appears in the program list and in the Dr Web programs folder and I have tried installing and reinstalling from both places several times with little effect. The Spidermail component will not install. Although not crucial, as the main program will be able to pick up any infected e-mails I would still like the option of using Spidermail. I have also checked previous threads which have suggested cleaning up with registry cleaners which I have done. Any Ideas?

Have found this error message in spidermail's log - 'Copy Hook DLL failed with error 32'.

Means nothing to me ???

I think at this point I would contact Dialogue Science support.
I got mine up and running after several tries without the problems you are mentioning.

Have tried several more uninstalls/reinstalls and after one reboot the whole program disappeared!!! Main part of program is now up and running but still no sign of Spidermail!!!!!

I will try a fresh download, then try support at Dialogue Science.
