Default Spybot S+D caused Windows Me not to start any more

Hallo,
kann ich hier auch auf Deutsch schreiben? Wenn nicht, dann eben mit
gebrochenem Englisch.

After using Spybot S+D on my Windows Me System in order to find any spyware
which it did not find, this monster of a program asked whether it could
eliminate some minor irregularities with the beginning of the next start of
Windows Me. When I allowed Spybot S+D to do this, my Me System refused to
start any more because of a "Schutzverletzung". I do not know the English
equivalent to this German word. I had to re-install the whole system from my
_setup.exe file in my Windows/Options/Cabs folder which exists since it was
installed there by the manufacturer which was in 2001. I cannot use my
recovery CD because I changed my mainboards several times already. Now
re-installing my system is no longer possible in the same quality as before.
It now runs only in a way that is similar to the Protected Mode, that means
the graphics display is with only 16 colo(u)rs, I can no longer use the lan
connection, the sound chip on the mainboard which I use (ALiveDual-eSATA2)
is not recognized. I am now really fed up with Spybot Search and Destroy
because the only thing it destroys is your system!
