Installation Problem

[szc]

No problem... try changing that value to XML... don't touch anything else, just replace ODBC with XML. Save avast4.ini, exit notepad and, after that, restart your system (it's very important) and see if that helps any... still it would be good to check are those avast! services up and running (see screenshot I posted up there)

Cheers !

Thank you for your advice - and your patience.  And I'm convinced that Avast! is a super product.

No problem Loda, Niko started to help you, I'm just here in case he forgets something... if nothing of these advices helps, just listen to his advice and reinstall it from the scratch.

Please, keep us updated is your problem gone after you change database value...

I am not at the computer that has the problem.  Will log back on tomorrow when I have had the opportunity to implement your suggestions.
Thanks again.

No problems at all... when you are ready, just come back and if that doesn't help, I'll try to come up with something else...

Good luck !

Also, you may try this...

- Check is avast! running at all - check your taskmanager, and see if you can find avast! processes in there.

- If it is not up and running, try repairing avast! (control panel - add/remove - avast! - change/repair). Note: You must be connected to the internet while performing avast! repair.

- If it is up and running and you still don't see your icons, give RejZor's AEC (avast! External Control) a try. Search these forums for a link.

- If all of that fails, then uninstall avast! using the uninstall utility from the website, reboot and reinstall it from the scratch.

Cheers !

Edit: Also make sure your icons are not set to auto-hide in the taskbar properties (Windows).
