Spambayes 1.0.4

rayh

I recently installed spambayes 1.0.4 and i cannot get it to run. My PC is running Vista home Premium and I suspect its to do with permissions - any advises?

2.1 Does SpamBayes work on Windows Vista?

SpamBayes does work on Vista, though you will have to tweak the permissions on:

c:\program files\spambayes

More details are available here:

Note that you will probably have to execute the installer with elevated privileges. Right-clicking on the EXE and selecting "Run as Administrator" should work (and will be necessary even if you are logged in as an admin user).

Sorry - I should have mentioned but I was aware of this and have installed using Admin privilages, but still does not run

Are you also running it as admin? go to the shortcut / right click / properties / compatibility tab / check "Run this as an administrator"

Try launch.

Installed as Admin and tried running Outlook as Admin - no show

Not outlook, you need to prob run the spam service as admin.

• Right-click on spambayes EXE file
• Select 'Run as Administrator'

* 'Run as Administrator' is not the same as logging into the Windows administrator account.

Yes I have done this but it appears that Outlook 2007 is not firing up Spambayes
