what's up with runtime error '5'??

runtime error '5' keeps popping up on spywareguard.. how can i shut it up please!!!!! ..I'm running winxp pro. tnx

 

Have you tried Installing Visual Basic 6.0 SP5? http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60pro/Redist/sp5/WIN98Me/EN-US/vbrun60sp5.exe

 

i don't need/use VB. The error occured after i ran AdAware w/c removed some browser hijacking thingies.. Do you think that's the problem??

 

It's possible, have you tried Uninstalling Spywareguard and re-booting and then Re-install Spywareguard and re-boot... Then try out Spywareguard, if she works then use Ad-Aware again and figure out what should be excluded (Ignored) from now on to prevent such a thing from occurring in the future...

 

i did the reinstall procedure, nothin changed. Is it the end of spywareguard for me? Too bad, it's a pretty nifty software.

 

Mr. Paul,

But it's Spywareguard I'm having problems with.. Blaster's just workin fine Sir.

 

So got anymore ideas Mr. Paul? Would appreciate so much..

 

Hey daefrageu

I know this happens because the Dynamic Link Libraries (*.dlls) have not been installed correctly yet, try uninstalling Spywareguard and re-boot. After Windows fully loaded exit out of all 3rd party running processes using “Task Manager” and then try re-installing Spywareguard. And if that doesn’t work try booting up into Safe-Mode and try Installing Spywareguard that way, like mentioned on that page Paul provided us…

 

And for some reason it still fails I recommend Installing VB6 SP5 http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60pro/Redist/sp5/WIN98Me/EN-US/vbrun60sp5.exe (Then Re-installation of Spywareguard)

 

Me too! This error is driving me nuts, has anybody found the defintive answer?

Thanks to all,
