Can no longer start AdAware 2007

Hi,

First of all I wanted to say what a brilliant program, I absolutely love it!

I have got 1 problem after installing Flyakite. AdAware 2007 will no longer start because it cannot start the service

I have tried reinstalling it with the latest AdAware version but get this error msg:

'Error 1920 AAservice failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priviliges to start system services'

Anyone got any suggestions?

Cheers!

if you cannot find a solution for you ad aware problem, use spybot instead, it is free, and with regular updates...no problems with FAK OSX...

Good for you !

Use SpyBot + NOD32 instead.

I've never heard of a problem with FlyakiteOSX and Ad-Aware. Exactly when does that error message appear when you're trying to reinstall Ad-Aware?

Thanks,

It goes through the re-installation fine but when it comes to starting the AdAware service it says:

'Error 1920. Service AdAware 2007 service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services'

I am logged on with an account that has administrator privileges.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions! Will have a look at SpyBot as well

How about trying to run Ad-Aware as the actual Administrator, not just a user with admin privileges? I believe you can right-click the .exe file and select "Run as" as an option.

Get Adaware SE, Adaware 2007 is buggy and messed up many computers, especially ones with vista!

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it but unfortunately it made no difference. I'll try and see if I can find the previous version of AdAware
