That is pretty much the problem. after installing and registering the latest free home version, the task bar is inaccessible, when I try to click on it windows just makes that “DING” sound as if the window is waiting or so on [It is called DEFAULT BEEP in sounds].
I’ve tried rebooting several times to no avail, and finally had to control escape to be able to access start/settings/add remove, and uninstall???
My system is an older dell pent 4 3.4gig
2 gigs ram
XP HOME EDITION
…
Has anyone ever heard of this problem?
Do you have any other antivirus in this computer?
Had in the past?
Is this the ‘only’ annoyance that you’re experiencing?
I never heard before on this forums… :
Hi, thanks for responding, I’ve had prior to avast, avg free.
And yes this is the only thing that I can see that it is doing, but it is a show stopper.
I did just last night installed xp service pack 3 so I’ll see if maybe that sorted anything.
I’m going to give it another shot tonight so hopefully it works?
I suggest an installation from the scratch:
- Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
- Boot.
- Download the latest version of Avast Uninstall and use it for complete uninstallation.
- Boot.
- Install again the latest avast! version.
- Boot.
- Check and post the results.
