Help

Hello. I am having problems. When i try to install cerain software i recieve the message C:Docume(program) and, underneath, C:\program files|Alwil…aswMonVd.dll an installable virtual device driver failed Dll initialization. choose close to terminate the application. I used the avast remover from this website the other day, so i don’t know why my computer is still going on about it. So, if anyone can help me destroy all traces of avast, i’d be much obliged.

How about using the search function on this forum ?

I didn’t really understand the discussion on that link. my first problem would be “what is a dosbox?”. Thanx for helping, anyway.

Come on, one of you must know what a dosbox is!

can you explain more in detail what your problem is and what are you trying to do ??? ::slight_smile:

Yes, my problem is that i recieve the error message above whenever i try to run or install certain types of file. I don’t know why, but from what i can gather it might be something to do with the registry. I was looking through windows system32 config nt and i can find no reference to avast, but i’m not sure. Basically, i don’t have a clue and i would like to stop getting the error message about the virtual machine.

  1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
  2. Boot.
  3. Use Avast Uninstall for complete uninstallation.
  4. Boot.

If it fails, remove all other antivirus you have installed before and try again.
If it fails, install avast again and then follow the way above (this is a known way to get rid of a bad installed application: install again, correct the installation, uninstall).
