Avast and Windows Media Player 9

[ZombieKIL]

Have a strange problem here Avast 4 Pro  is corrupting Windows media Player 9 way it displays on screen garbage everywhere, I have removed and reinstalled both programs, that does not fix it, can anyone help..

One Point I know its Avast, cause I removed it and install F-Sercure or PC Cillin 2004 and the corruption does not happen!!
but I hate these programs "kruddsoft"

Thanks for your time!!

Interesting. I'd need more info on this. Your OS? Machine vendor/type? Video card vendor/type? Driver version? Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the problem? Does the problem happen with any media or just specific audio/video's?

Stuff like that...

We can't do much unless we simulate the problem in our labs...

Thanks

An impressive machine, I must say!

Does the video corruption occurs even when as much as possible of avast is disabled (i.e. when you stop the On-access protection from the blue tray icon)?
I mean, is it mere installing avast that's causing the problem, or running avast?

The problem starts right when you install avast? Does the garbage appear every time you try to play some video, or only sometimes?

[ZombieKIL]

Yes even when avast is disabled, when I uninstalled avast it does not happen!!!

use any other antivirus software it does not happen

PC Cillin
F-Secure
F-protect

I want to use avast so please fix it or I will have re-install Windows XP
I like my system setup, its great except for Avast.

This is screen shot

Ah, I thought the movie itself is displayed incorrectly - according to the screenshot, it rather looks like the player itself is trashed... right?

What is that system skin you're using? Is it a third party tool? Which one?

[ZombieKIL]

Theme Multi-patcher
or Stylexp

Does not make a difference if I turn it off
I take it back to Classic Style (Windows 2000)
the corruption still happens

thanks for your support but I have reinstalled my system

[Vlk]

Yes all is working fine now,, yes I did reisntall Windows XP I did not want to, I like avast and I like Windows Media Player 9.

it did fix the problem!!

and thanks again for your time, your software great and I like bartCD too

I would like one thing added to bartCD if possible is some harddrive imaging software (Powerquest Imagecenter) Image and support to SATA controllers would be great
so I don't have to look for floppy disk all the time!!
