Hi All,
I had avast 4.7 Home installed and running 5 out of 6 providers (I have not installed Outlook yet). My installation got messed up with the downloading problems a few days ago, I had to un-install.
After the un-install I rebooted and installed avast over. I choose the complete install, as I did the first time. After the installation I rebooted the computer. Once the computer was up I found that avast was showing the icon with a red x. I opened the protection control and found that there were 0 providers listed. I had to un-install the 6 providers and then re-install them to get avast running again. The problem is that the Internet Mail provider does not start, it says it is waiting for a sub-system. It started fine before I had to un-install. Now I have 4 of 6 providers running.
Once I read the posts about the download problem being fixed I did all the updates again. This time all the updates worked fine. However, the Internet Mail provider still does not start. It says the same thing, waiting for a sub-system to start.
At this point I do not have my e-mail setup. But I did not have it setup before the download problems and Internet Mail provider started before.
My question, should the Internet Mail provider start even if I do not have any e-mail accounts setup yet? As I said before, it use to start even with no e-mail accounts setup but now it does not. Should it work this way?
Thanks for any help
Charles
