Based on other postings to this list, I understand that Spambayes works
on newer Windows versions (probably 8.x is included) only if you use a
32-bit version of Outlook.

I've also read about there being issues with where it is installed. If
you let the installer drop it wherever it likes, I recall having read
that it won't work. there was something about putting it completely
outside of the normal directory tree where windows installs things,
though I don't remember details.

good luck!

PS:
Or, a suggestion: you could switch to LInux. it works great on my
succession of LInux boxen. :) :) :)
