system

Hi all,
As mentioned, I fixed the problem on my desktop but was still encountering some errors on my laptop. I’ve fixed them by now, so let’s share what I did so that you might all potentially benefit from this.
After copying those .TMP files to their respective .DLLs (see the earlier postings) I got strange error messages on startup: error ^%^@%#*^%@%#@ (non-readable text) Ashdisp.exe and Ashmaisv.exe could not find their entrypoints in MSVCR70.DLL, even if that DLL was the right version! (Yes, I checked their versions by then :))
So I guessed my system was getting really cluttered… This is what I did:
- running the Avast uninstaller.
To make sure nothing is left anymore:
- remove the directory C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4
- clean the WinRegistry with a tool (e.g. jv16PowerTools, although not freeware anymore, see http://www.macecraft.com/ but any other tool works just as fine)
- remove the MSVCI70.DLL / MSVCP70.DLL / MSVCR70.DLL from your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DLLCACHE
-
reboot
-
re-install Avast
-
run MoveOnBoot and put the MSVCI70.DLL / MSVCP70.DLL / MSVCR70.DLL files into another folder
-
reboot (Avast will not be able to start the DLLs: thus, you’ll get error msgs. No panic.)
-
copy those MSV24/25/26.TMP files as described earlier in this forum onto the respective DLLs
-
restart
After having done so, it’s working just fine again… Maybe this is of any help to someone.
Regards,
