Hello
Hopefully this will be helpful to someone. We have had some Windows 2000 machines that continually have problems with Auto Protect failing to load at startup. The only thing we could find that did any good was uninstalling and reinstalling the client which would break again in about two weeks. We have corporate edition 10. Well, after months of looking through website after website and help sites and who knows what else sites, and trying registry fixes and file repairs and updated this and that, we finally tracked it down on our own. There is a windows update, KB922582, that was causing the issue. Once we took it out, the autoprotect started fine after the reboot. The update relates to Windows Update issues with the Filter Manager. I don't like having to take out an update, but the company getting infected because the autoprotect isn't working would be worse. Hope this helps someone.
