Strange Error Message

[sunshine803]

I asked Mbam to scan a single file through the right-click procedure.

It came up with a small window showing the following:

Run Time Error 383

'Text' Property is Read Only

and just the OK button to press.

Clicking on OK just closed the little window.

I repeated the actions and I got the same result.

I then tried to close Mbam but double clicking on the tray icon brought up the same error message.

Same when right clicking on the tray icon.

Same error message popped up even during the Un-install procedure.

I uninstalled and then re-installed.

It worked ok on a couple of scans and then same error message appeared

I uninstalled yet again and I also ran the mbam-clean.exe program before re-installing

I have just downloaded the latest signature file and tried a few scans. It seems ok and I hope it stays that way...

Any ideas what the error means and what might have caused it?

Thank you

Thanks Noknojon for your quick reply.

I have noted your comments and will keep them in case the problem re-appears.

Everything seems to be ok now. BTW, the file I asked mbam to scan was not read-only.

Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year

I found out the cause of the error message!...

MBAM wants all the languages to be there!...

Generally, when I install a new application, I delete all languages except English.

I do the same for all skins (if any) that I don't like

As soon as I deleted the languages, I got the same behaviour as described above.

I restored the languages and MBAM was happy...

Just an 'antiracial' characteristic of MBAM!...

Now we know...
