Hi!
If Avast Home is installed my Computer (WinXP, Office 2003) needs up to 5 Minutes to get usable. Before that time the PC is bussy and so kind of locked.
This problem doesn't occure when I install Outlook 2000 instead.
The problem also occures if avast ist installed but disabled.
Do you know the reason or - even better - a solution?
ThanX

Use Startup.cpl (http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml) and disable everything from loading that is not needed for the system to function. Let's see if that makes a difference.
If that fails, you can try StartUp Delayer. (link to it is on this board, use the search option)
