Summary: SpamBayes stops working after MS hot fix KB824145

Initial Comment:
SpamBayes was working great until after I installed MS  
hot fix KB824145 and restarted my PC.  All of a sudden, 
the SpamBayes icons wouldn't respond and incoming 
mail was not being ranked.  I even tried 
uninstalling/resinstalling SpamBayes, no dice.  I also 
tried the regsvr32.exe spambayes_addin.dll as shown 
in the docs.  Still nothing.

The SpamBayes add-in manager will no longer register 
and the SpamBayes log files are clean.

I am using Windows XP, Sp1
Outlook 2002.


Chalk another one up to Microsoft!  Anyone seen this or 
have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Looks like it was one of those mysterious times when 
SpamBayes just stopped working.  I have reinstalled MS Hot 
Fix KB824145, and all is working fine.  Thanks all for the 
help.

ok.  So go figure.  I uninstall SpamBayes again.  Made sure 
that the preferences files were also deleted.  I then 
reinstalled SpamBayes, copied the preferences files back, 
and now everything works.

ok.  So what I do then to make SpamBayes work again??  I 
used the system restore to roll my PC back to before the hot 
fixes.  I completely uninstalled SpamBayes, even renamed 
the preferences files in the Documents and Settings folder.  
Still no dice.

I installed KB824145 earlier today and also have had no 
problems so far.

Environment is Windows 2000 SP4 with Outlook 2003, and 
running latest Outlook plugin from CVS source.

I am having no problems with this patch. I have two 
XPsp1+all hotfix systems, one running Outlook 2002sp2, and 
one running Outlook 2003.

Spambayes 0.81 is still working fine on both.

I think you might be chasing a red herring here. There may be 
no relationship between the two events. And, considering the 
patch only touches IE files (which are only used for rendering 
HTML mail by outlook, not accessing messages or 
communicating with the plug-in), I don't think there would be 
any relationship.

Many users have reported that the plug-in spontaneously 
stopped working for them in the past, with no other actions. I 
think this might have happened to you, and it just happened 
to occur at the same time as the patch installation.

I just had windows update download this patch, but am now 
going to delay installing it until this is addressed.  Thanks for 
the heads up!
