Outlook 2007 addin only works when run as administrator
Milly, your reply really wasn't much help.
I've already done what you suggested - and I'm sure those programmers are
wondering the same thing I am... If started while Outlook 2007 is already
running, the code runs fine, just as it does in earlier versions of Outlook -
so what changed in Outlook 2007's startup sequence whereby Spambayes causes
Outlook 2007 to crash.

I would report the problem to the programmers of SpamBayes - Microsoft cannot fix what they did not write.

|I love Spambayes, the open source spam filter that works as an Outlook addin.
| At least it works fine under Outook versions 97-2003, XP or Vista.
| Under Vista, I just upgraded OL 2003 to 2007. The addin crashes OL2007 and
| must be disabled unless I do the following:
|
| UAC is active.
| Run OL2007 as Administrator.
| Using the Trust Center - Remove the addin, then Add the addin to
| reinitiallize it.
|
| Now Spambayes runs great. However, as soon as I close Outlook and restart it
| (either as a standard user under UAC, or via 'Run as Administrator' [RAA])
| OL2007 will crash until I disable the addin.
|
| Once the addin is disabled and OL2007 has started (either as standard or
| RAA), I can go to help/disabled items and enable Spambayes, then use the
| Trust Center and select the Spambayes addin for use - and it will run just
| fine.
|
| Obviously, OL2997 only has problems with this addin at start up. Any ideas
| how to fix this so it can auto-start as before?
|
| Making the addin inactive before shutting down Outlook does not help, and I
| don't know of any way to temporarily disable the addin shy of letting OL2007
| crash, then disabling the addin with OL2007. That's a very poor work-around.
