203509 2003-12-27 21:43:00 I find many refs to the "menu on the left hand side" to click on things like Immunize but my Spybot takes up full screen and wont go any smaller. I have tried reinstal with same result. How do I access the Spybot menu please?

203510 2003-12-27 23:31:00 Try this Valerie. First click on the two little boxes in the right hand corner of your screen next to the X. This may minimises the screen down although not very much. Next put your cursor on the very top blue line and hold your left mouse button down. As you do so, drag the screen to the right. This may give you the opportunity to resize the screen and in doing so reveaL the menu items. Hope this helps. Smurf (506)
203511 2003-12-28 00:42:00 Thanks Smurf. I did as you suggested and now have a smaller shot of the Spybot window but still no menu. Maybe someone else can advise me??

203512 2003-12-28 02:10:00 According to the help ,it looks like the menu is only shown when you select the advanced setup,not the basic.And sorry,I've only got it starting in the advanced mode,so can't find how to start in basic.But I seem to remember that when installed it has the choice of which one to go into.All to do with altering my shortcuts!

203514 2003-12-28 02:16:00 Ok Valerie. Sorry that didn't work. Can you describe exactly the screen and contents you are getting. eg Beneath the top bar, are you getting File,Language ,Help and under those a magnifyong glass alongside which is Sybot S & D ?

If you are, try clicking on Spybot S & D. When I do this, the menu actually explodes and is listed beneath on the left handside.

203515 2003-12-28 02:18:00 Valerie if you go into your start menu/programs and find spybot you will find advanced mode and easy mode there. zqwerty (97)
203516 2003-12-28 07:38:00 Thanks guys.

Smurf - yes the window is as you described but clicking on Spybot does nothing. Clicking on the big blue Spybot at the bottom of window sends me off to Security.Kolla.de the download centre.

zqwerty - I did the start/programs thing and came up with both advanced and easy mode but clicking on either brought up the same window.

So it must be something I'm doing wrong during install. I'll try again & let you know

Thanks again

Val

203517 2003-12-28 07:56:00 Valerie I installed Spybot yesterday on my second system and I don't think there is much you could do wrong. Installs mostly work or fail completely. Check the buttons on the advanced mode {LHS} they tend to be layered on top of eachother and fan out when you click them. zqwerty (97)
203518 2003-12-28 07:57:00 Hi Valerie,

Just had a play with mine and found you can drag the left border between the left menu and main screen.

Try moving your cursor left and see if it changes to the movey one then click and drag it towards the centre.

Cheers.
