Delete the files "default_bayes_database.db" and  
"default_messageinfo_database.db" in your data directory, and that  
should work.  Your data directory will differ depending on what  
version of Windows you're using; if it's Windows XP, then it will  
probably be: 'C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data 
\SpamBayes'.

The 'Application Data' directory is hidden by default, so the easiest  
way to get to it is to show the 'Address Bar' in an explorer window  
and type in the path, as above (substituting your username in).
