I updated my video drivers to the latest from nvidia…
Now if I stop avast protection (right click avast icon) it performs illegal operation and must shut down, which is what I wanted but it never did the illegal thing till I did my drivers…any suggestions ?

I’m afraid this error log doesn’t contain any useful information (no addresses of avast! modules anywhere, as if avast! didn’t have anything to do about it).
Please, try to run DrWatson.exe and invoke the problem again. DrWatson should pop up and collect some more information about the crash (hopefully).
hi all,
I tried the new files you sent, thanks, and it shut the crash alert off but when i ran drwatson it freezes. I reinstalled avast and it gave me some buffer overrun or something and continued restarting heres the fault log.Its apparent the nvidia drivers are at fault because it worked flawlessly before with the directx 8 style driver.

Do you mean that DrWatson freezes (when you start it), or avast! freezes instead of crashing (when DrWatson is running)?
The crashes you posted seems rather similar, but occur in EXPLORER… so it’s probably not really connected to avast. Sorry, it’s not possible to say more from the listed information.
The only explanationmight be if ‘MFB’ hasn’t read your signature or has signatures switched off in his forum settings and hasn’t seen you have plenty of memory.
Yes i did and made sure to clean every trace before putting in the new one, it all works fine till i try to turn avast off to play games so i just use the Sysinternals Process Explorer to shut it off.
I have an invalid page fault problem also. I have installed Avast a dozen times since 2003 and this is the first error I’ve ever had, even on PC’s as slow as 200mhz and 64mb.
Just installed Avast and it happened at the reboot. If I manually start, Avast gets to the initial screen to check memory and disappears. The send email of the error window comes up in either case. Sometimes I get the windows page fault error window and sometimes not. Here’s what ALL the Win errors say:
I ran Dr. Watson as you suggested above both prior and after the error and it says it can’t find any errors logged.
The Avast error screen says error is caused by a program bug or internal error. I can’t send the email report because I’m just setting up the system and have no ISP in it yet (it’s not my PC). I have 2 versions and both had the same error. The 1st ver was downloaded just today. The old one is from 5/05. I can’t get to the version screen at all in either.

I’m afraid this crash log is completely weird, it doesn’t contain any useful address that might belong to avast.
You may check if there’s any recent unpXXXXXX.tmp (X are some numbers) file in \Data\Log folder, but it would probably contain the same (useless) info as Windows presented…
My… what is it about Windoze today? I’m about to sic Iolo’s System Mechanic on the system and will try to clear the field some. I’ll try to get back to you on what happens there. Also suspect there’s something funky about the eMachine way of doing things. Do you get an abnormal number of users with ??? about them?
Thanks for giving it a shot. I still love Avast! anyway. 8)
Adaware gave me the hint, as it wasn’t working either (no start, but there wasn’t a Windows page fault response). It’s error sensing routine came up with an “OLEAUT32.DLL” error (a “val” something not found). I realised that replacing the DLL would help, so I ran Win98se’s “SFC” to extract the file from Win98 folder. Reboot and all was jake for both programs! Hoozah!! ;D
This bears passing around. How many other unresolved errors are from this corrupted OLEAUT32? ???
Also, perhaps your dudes and those at Adaware need a powwow. Their error sensing routine may be worth sharing. Not a bad thing considering you both write the top 3rd party Windows wares availible in their field. At least share some website links, huh?! 8)
