Where did my Outlook go???

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hello all…I just started using Avast after reading many positive reviews, but there is a hitch…when I try to fire up my Outlook 2000, it opens for about two seconds and then shuts down :'(. I dunno what’s happening here. Just for reference, I uninstalled Norton Internet Security 2004 just before I installed the home version. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Did you remove NAV completely (including the registry keys)?
Did you use the NAV uninstall util?

No, I didn’t use the utility, couldn’t find one. I used the ‘remove/add programs’ feature in control panel. I had numerous error messages, to which I responded ‘ignore’, as it was the only way to make it work. I know many people have had their share of nightmares with Norton, why do I feel as though mine is just beginning??

  • uninstall Avast
  • reboot
  • uninstall NAV completely using the util (link is in many many threads here)
  • reboot
  • install Avast (make sure you are logged in as administrator [XP Pro], or as user with admin rights [XP Home])
  • reboot

Does this solve the problem?

Okay, I just ran the Norton Internet Security registry removal program, but when I try to run Windows Script 5.6 I get a command line syntax error…uh oh…any thoughts???
