problem after installing office 2003

after installing office 2003 it seems that avast home has problems starting: just after the boot of the system the avast icon show a red mark and is stopped. if I double click on the icon I get the following error:
“the aavm subsystem detected an rpc error, the operation could not be completed”
then after waiting some time the red mark on the icon disappears, and avast seems to work properly, however i’m not so sure that it’s working correctly.

Does this help?

If not do a forum search for rpc, you should get what you need.

To check if Avast works go to

www.eicar.org

and download eicar.com and its variants. They are safe. If Avast detects them it is working.

furbotto, you can be sure that avast works like a charm with Office 2003.
If the link Delta provided to you does not help, please check if both avast! services are running automatically when Windows starts (Start Menu > Administrative Tools > Services) :wink:
