Hi, I have a problem where XP won’t boot normally just gets to you desktop the reboots. It’s hangs on aswrvrt.sys when booting in safe mode. this happen after updating to to the latest program version of avast free
Are you able to get into safe mode ?
Download Peazip to the desktop
Run and install the programme
As it installs this page will show, deselect the AVG ticks
Press decline and it will then install cleanly

Once the USB has burnt then
[*]Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to the flash drive.
[*]Reboot your system using the boot USB you just created.
Note : If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from USB follow the steps here
[]As the Programme needs to detect your hardware and load the operating system, I would recommend a nice cup of tea whilst it loads
[]Your system should now display a Reatogo desktop.
[]Locate the flash drive and run FSRT
[]The tool will start to run.

[*]When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Press Scan button.
[*]It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
hi sorry for the long delay had trouble getting safe mode please find attached
thanks
This will totally disable Avast
Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same location as FRST
Run FRST and press Fix
On completion try a reboot
Thanks for that it took 45 mins to fix then on reboot it would not start not even in safe mode any more. I will have to try and find a my a Acronis boot disk and the back up DVD but since I moved finding any think is a pain all I can say avast was very good. But I shall tell all my friends who use it to watch out as it my make them crash to !!! some running windows 7.
Can you attack a fixlog? Should be on the USB Stick
