Default Outlook 2007 addin only works when run as administrator

Milly,

I'm sorry for being rude, but how DID you get your MVP status? Your last
response clearly shows you have yet to read the issue, and you have been of
no help whatsoever.

Spambayes runs GREAT if enabled AFTER OL2007 starts. OL2007 crashes ONLY AT
STARTUP if Spambayes is active.

Something within the startup of Outlook has changed between earlier versions
on OL2007. The question - which I will point out you have yet to answer - is
WHAT has changed?

If all you are going to do is tell me the obvious, that it doesn't work -
don't bother replying. If on the other hand you can answer the question as to
what has changed in Outlook's startup sequence, THEN I can assist the
programmers with product changes.

Without the SpamBayes add-in active, does Outlook start normally? Can you use all of the functions in Outlook without problems? If yes, and the behavior you describe only occurs when SpamBayes is active, it is something within SpamBayes that is acting up. Microsoft cannot do anything about that.

||| 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.
