Hello,
This has occured before and then it stopped happening after 20 or so restarts but now it's back and it doesn't seem to be going away this time.
I have looked in your FAQ and forum and did not find a solution.
I have Windows XP SP2
Avast 4.6.623
VPS 0515-5, 4/16/05
Pentium4, 256mb ram
cable modem
I only use Avast antivirus
I only use the windows XP firewall
When my system boots up, I start getting popup windows telling me that Windows Explorer is not working and needs to close. I also get a DrWatson error message also. And then nothing works so I am forced to hold down the on/off button for 5 seconds (laptop) so I can reboot and try again. But I keep having the same problems.
something to do with "ashMaiSv.exe"
I have attached a pic of the message window that I continue to get (concerning your software).
I have also included that of Windows Explorer.
This happened shortly after windows automaticly updated on my computer. If I remember correctly, this may have occured last time windows updated also.
Things only seem to work in safe mode. I am posting this in safe mode.
Please help.
Thx.

So I tried uninstalling the software. It got rid of that Specific "ashMaiSv.exe" error. But I was still getting the other error messages - for Windows explorer and DrWatson. So I reinstalled Avast in safe mode and now I am getting the runtime error with "ashDisp.exe"
Help please!
