Thanks but i have tried this several times and it wont work , notice it wont work with vista

For sure it works on Vista 64bits.

Can you try to repair your installation?
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast! antivirus > Remove. Then choose Repair function in the popup window (Repair).
If this does not help, can you uninstall / boot / install / boot again?

Do you use a firewall? Which one?
Any other security program that could interfere?
