WELLLL ..... every thing was going smooth like clock work for the last 14 months ... then all of a sudden ....... the Avast pop_up window pops up .... but .... it ain't blue in color no mo .
I am over here flipping my lips trying to figure out WHY may Outlook will not get me mail anymore . All I can do is scratch me arm_pits .
After digging in may noise for 2 minutes it came to me ..... that pop_up window was green .... that Avast_popup_update_window was green ....not blue .
When it turned green my OUtlook Express died . So Avast put the Green_Monkey on me ..... hummmmm . It made seven Registry entries of Zmail_something all at one time . I shut avast down all the way .... but me OUtlook is dead .
So why can't we go back to blue . Old_blue . Well .... it ain't gonna help me now unless a tech_engineer has some very good ideas . Please help me now .

Hi and welcome,
can you check your registration key as they only last 14 months then you must re-register.

The colours might have changed but the 14 free Updates for the Home version hasn't, as Cloussau said you need to re-register and you will get another 14 months of free updates.

Thanks Cloussau :
Yes .... the 14 month key is ok ..... I just updated it about a month ago .
I came back to post that I have found out what happen when I stopped flipping
my lips so much .
It seems the last upgrade or update I had today (Green Window Pop_uP) with Avast kicked "ZoneAlarm" in the tusssh .... LOL . The two had some sort of disagreement over the email so "ZoneAlarm" switched out of manuel_mode , and
to prevent Avast from checking the mail before it came in ..... it just decided it was not going to allow Avast to do a clean install of the new version , and have a say so in checking the mail .
What I did was install "ZoneAlarm" sometime AFTER I installed AVAST . So the Avast went on the system first months ago; then I add "ZoneAlarm" later . So Avast had
a command position on things . ..... but ...... when Avast did a program update today "ZoneAlarm" prevented things .
I had to go into "ZoneAlarm" , and turn off the "mail_guard" as it switched to
automatic when Avast started its updating .
If Avast had done just a "references_update" like it has done before there would have been no problem .... but .... Avast did a "PROGRAM_update" , and that
is went it fell prey to "ZoneAlarm" .
Sorry , but I had to spell these details out for those that will have trouble with
"ZoneAlarm" . I guess the title of the POST should be changed to reflect this , but
Green_Monkey should do it ..... maybe . What do you think >??
So the conclusion is this ...... Avast gets alone with everybody .... but ..... ZoneAlarm does not .
