Icons disappear when I quit avast
Bug?

W98SE IE v6 512mb

Avast only run on-demand. Also checked system with f-prot, avg and ad-aware system virus/spyware free. ( All progs latest versions/updates)

When I quit avast icons in launchbar and Start Menu all disappear just the text names in startmenu nothing in launchbar. Anyone else experienced this?

Have you got more than one resident AV installed on this system e.g. AVG, F-Prot, etc. ?

When and why are you quitting avast ?
How are you quitting avast ?

Sounds like a problem with “resources”… unfortunatelly, rather common on Win9x, and I’m afraid there’s rather hard to do anything about it. Try to keep the number of programs running on background low (e.g. the applications that put their icon into the system tray).
