Every time I open outlook I get a message saying that the ashOutXt.dll add-in cannot be opened and that I should update it, but I have just downloaded avast again for this year. Its on a PC with XP.
Any ideas on a solution?
Cheers
Welcome to the forum.
It’s time to get the latest version of avast.
Current version is avast! 5.0.594

Thanks for the welcome and oh that it were that simple! This is the version I have. I wondered if there were any specific fixes for the outlook add-in?
You don’t say what version of Outlook you are using ?
Make sure the avast plug-in/add-in is not disabled in MS Outlook:
Outlook 2007 > Tools > Trust center > Add-ins > Manage Disabled items.
Outlook 2003 > Help > About > Disabled items
Outlook 2000 > Tools menu > Options > Other > Advanced Options > Add-In Manager.
Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.
Nice one! It works. Repairing the program did the trick. Thanks ever so much.
No problem, glad I could help.
A belated welcome to the forums.
