Also be sure you've gotten all the Windows Updates for your machine, as it's possible one of the updates for Windows has changed something which Ad-Aware is dependant upon.

I dont really think windows updates would be the problem it would have to be an update that would modify that section of your registry or something like that. Most windows updates are just security updates for IE and other windows components none of them should effect your personal software.

Further, it makes good sense for him to grab those updates immediately. With all the zombies out there portscanning these days, he stands a real big chance of getting infected by something before he gets the chance to update, since many of these spread with no user intervention.. There are bugs that will stop Ad-Aware from running, and disable your anti-virus software to worry about as well. Getting those updates only makes good sense, don't you think?

I believe you are right about the updates....I made the mistake of not getting all of my critical updates installed, and I had a hard time getting certain things to run until I had done so. And on top of that, my computer got infected with lots of unwanted "nasties" along the way. Whether it has anything to do with Adaware not wanting to work correctly or not, it's always wise to keep up with your updates from Microsoft. I had to learn the hard way.
