i have just installed avast! and everytime i try to open the simple user interface the start up guide appears eventho i checked the “do not show this the next time” dialog box… an error pops up saying error in running scripts, object cannot handle instruction… blah…blah… blah… hope u can help… tnx! ;D
You can edit the avast4.ini file using notepad, open the file and find the [Simple] section header. Edit this line if it exists, ShowHelpCheckList= set the value to 1, other wise create a new line below the [Simple] header and insert the new line ShowHelpCheckList=1, save the file and exit, the avast self-defence will ask if it is OK, etc. answer Yes.
Example:
[Simple]
ShowHelpCheckList=1
ah… i don’t know where to find this file… im using windows xp sp2… is it in the avast directory?? thanks for the help!
Yes it is, you could have tried an explorer search for it.
But, it lives here, C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\avast4.ini assuming you installed avast in the default location.
oh… thanks again for the help! ;D
You’re welcome.
More importantly has it resolved your problem now ?
ahh… its working… thanks!
