Outlook 2007 addin only works when run as administrator
If you want to know what changed in Outlook's start up behavior, then you need to go to the source, Microsoft.

| 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.

|||
||| 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 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.
