After installing AVAST4 on to my Windows XP machine, i have been having the following problem.
When trying to load ANY program, for example Word, I get the error
message -
Windows cannot find ‘(null)’ Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
So now I want to remove AVAST from my computer to resolve the problem. However when I try to go into Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel (including when I am in Safe Mode) I get the error message -
Windows cannot find 'rundll32.exe" etc.
Where can I go from here to resolve this problem? I am absolutely desparate to get my computer working again!
Thanks in Advance

You can use the Systemrestore of Winxp, but right now i do not know where to find it in an english Windows XP System!
Or try to get into the Bootmenu and choose “last known funktion Version”(I do not know the exact wording)
I have gone into the Boot menu and tried both Last Known Good Configuration and the restore option, but when I get back into windows, i still get the same error messages.
Am I missing something?
Cheers

I do not know, but you can try to install Avast again and than try to remove it. Where is you rundll32.exe located in? System32?
Did you make a scan with Avast and does it remove a Virus? Can you start Programms through the Windows Explorer?
BTW restore: You have to go back bevor you installed Avast
Cheers for all your help! Much appreciated ! All fixed now!
