Does Adaware 1.06 work on WinME?

UK-forever · 02-10-2006, 02:38 PM

Apparently installs OK, no error messages. But then will not run. The same executable is perfectly OK on Win98 and Win98SE and Win2K and WinXP.

Any ideas?

Hello And welcome to TSF

When you double click on the icon what happens?

Uninstall and try one of these older versions. It could be some type of malware interferring with the program.

Yes it does, I've had it running on my friends old computer since its release...Spybot also works as well.

twajetmech theres probably something stopping it from running. He can try running it in safe mode

Ah, guess I miss read his question, there was a recent update from MS for ME which has caused some problems on my friends computer....maybe its doing the same here, my solution was to use the restore function and roll back....I'm trying to convince her to get XP and dump ME
