Real Time Protection components not appearing

[Guest]

I've downloaded MS Antispyware 4 times over the past 6 months but have
uninstalled it every time for the same reason. When I go to look at the
individual components of each of the 3 Real Time Protection modules, only one
or none of the components are listed. The scroll bar will be present, but
when I scroll down it's just white space where the individual protections are
supposed to be listed. No sense in keeping a program that doesn't seem to
run correctly. I'm using XP Home SP2, Norton AntiVirus, Norton Personal
Firewall, free AdAware, and Spybot. I've had MS Antispyware run fine on
other systems with XP Pro and Home, but with different firewalls and
antivirus. Any ideas?

OK. I think I found the solution. I removed the MS AntiSpyware, then
deleted the Microsoft AntiSpyware folder in Program Files. I re-installed.
Still had my problem. Then I did the regsvr32 msvbvm60.dll thing, and now
all the agents are listed. My situation was just like that described in the
topic at

The question now is, why did I have to do that thing with the dll?

During the period of time when you were having trouble, did you install or
upgrade software from Symantec?

Just the regular updates for NAV and Personal Firewall 2005. Installed those
back in early July. The first time I ran LiveUpdate for those, I know there
were some updates to the actual programs. No installs or upgrades though.
In late July or early Aug I began trying to install MS AntiSpyware. So I
guess I hadn't been trying it for 6 months. But everything's working fine
now!

This fix seems to be needed on systems also running Symantec software. This
conflict won't exist in beta2.
