I have the new windows Vista RC1 installed. But i can’t get avast to work good. The on acces scanner does not work. When i try to start the avast service manually I get the following error:
Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.
When i start windows i get this error: http://www.reinierswebdesign.nl/zooi/avasterror.jpg
I too have the same problem. - I even went to the toruble of uninstalling avaqst and redownloading the “vista compatible” version and installed that with no benefit. Non of the resident scanners work, but you can run a scan with the main program.
Any suggestions?
I have a suggestion for you… Use the search function on this forum :
Exactly, it’s all over the forum and best of all, newest beta release of avast! work as a charm on Vista RC1 Build 5600.
Have a question about dual booting, if I were to dual boot Vista RC 1 with my current XP pro, how would I choose what OS I want to boot? Will Vista have a interface where you choose what system you want to boot? (like Grub in Linux) or will I need my own software such as Norton Partition Magic’s Boot Manager?
Control Panel > System > options for initialization (the same as XP).
Other possibility is using VistaBootPRO 2.1 Beta (http://www.vistabootpro.org/)
Hi Tech,
I can’t find options for initialization, where exactly is it?
It is in Advanced System Settings > Startup and Recovery
Can you find it now?
If not, I need to boot on Vista to post you a screenshot 
Hi,
Found it, thanks, using this I can switch between defual operating systems, which would mean that I can make Vista, then XP the OS that boot each time, right? Or am I just way off?
Thank you for the information. With the beta it just works fine now.
Yes.
If you want, you can, after booting with Vista, download, install and use VistaBootPRO 2.1 Beta tool (http://www.vistabootpro.org/), a GUI to change the boot settings on Vista.
