Hi, all;

This started several weeks ago, when I was running SCANDISK from Safe
mode (as recommended here). If I attempt to use the USB mouse to
navigate or select, Safe mode goes nuts, opening apps, dialog boxes
wherever the cursor travels. Somewhere in that mess, Win98SE was told to
check for Spybot first on the A: drive. I think.

Now when I double-click on Spybot S&D for update or a system scan, the
system first polls the A: drive once, then again quickly several times.
Then it opens normally.

I've checked in Spybots settings and Properties, but I don't see
anything telling it to try A: before it checks the C: drive, and I don't
know how to make it stop polling A:

Please help, and I hope it's an easy question.

Thanks,
JPM

I have the same thing happening. I also have Win98SE and starting a few
weeks ago when I open Spybot S&D it looks at the A: drive first. I just
figured there was something in one of their updates that was making it
do that.

If you find out any more info post back here and let us know.

Thanks, Chris. I didn't think I'd get an answer after 2 days! I'm
trying the AV newsgroups as well. May be some luck there.

Do you get the same weird Safe mode stuff? Where any cursor motion
triggers windows and dialog boxes everywhere?

No, I'm not getting any other issues. I update Spybot in Normal mode
and then boot to Safe mode to do the scanning...I've never had any
strange cursor action. Sorry I can't help you with that. :-)
