For critical error 101 this works (but not everyone).
See if the DCOM service is running.
- Start / Run / DCOMCNFG
- Navigate to Component Services\Computers\My Computer
- Right Click Properties
- Go to the COM security tab
- Click 'Edit Default' in the 'Access Permissions' group box
- Add the user you logged in as with allowed access

It doesn't work for everyone (it didn't work for me).
But it might work for you.

I did a search before begging you for help.
I updated the ms antispyware program via the control panel.
I removed, redownloaded, and reinstalled the ms antispyware program.
I changed permissions of my program files directory.
I deleted ms antispyware again and installed it in C:\spyware.

The DCOM service (whatever that is) is set to automatic.
The DCOM service has the proper permissions for "Administrator".
Still I get critical error 103.

I'm running on Windows XP Service Pack II.
Do you know what the problem is or how to debug?
I'm just a regular mom who can follow directions.
But I don't really know what I am doing.

Any idea why MS AntiSpyware gives critical error 103?
