hey guys
i recently installed avast 4.6.619 home edition to my windows xp sp2 system. I am also running zone alarm Pro version:5.5.094.000.
Now the probolem i am having is that when i try to start ashAvast.exe the process runs but the program dose not come up. i have tried reinstalling several times with the same probolem the real time shelds are all running flawlessly.
Thankyou in advance for you help and the quality software (looking at pro when i find how to resolve this probolem
Are you using WindowBlinds or any other theme/skin application?
If you run ashSimp2.exe or ashSimpl.exe directly from the avast folder, will them run?
Welcome to forums 8)
Thankyou for the quick responce i tried both ashSimpl.exe and ashSimp2.exe neither worked unfortunately. I am running objectDock and Object icon pacager. do you think these would be the cause of my problems (if so ill uninstall them both tomorrow and retry
No, I don’t think objectDock and Object icon will be the problem.
Do you have any other antivirus in your system?
Can you uninstall / boot / install / boot to see if it works?
What I can say is that the privacy features of ZoneAlarm Pro could bring some incompatibility with avast.

While installing avast: If you are using ZoneAlarm Pro and Privacy Control in ZoneAlarm is set to High and if you click YES in avast comptability dialog box the transparent mode proxy in webshield will be turned off you have to manually configure browser to access internet.
