I haven't been able to find this problem anywhere on here.
I recently switched from Norton AV to avast!, however avast! is having a problem. I have made sure that nothing of Norton AV remained before I installed avast. avast runs just fine in the tray. I can access everything BUT the main GUI.
I try to run using the desktop shortcut, the computer thinks for a bit and nothing shows. I tried it from the system tray icon, and directly from Explorer and nothing. In fact I get multiple instances of ashAvast.exe in the Task Manager after having tried a couple of times. So I know its attempting to run, I'm not sure though why it won't show.
I'm guessing at the moment it could be a conflict with one or more Stardock programs of which I use a few, however I am unsure. I have posted this issue there to see if anyone knows if its the case.
Programs that are running at startup are Kerio PF, Windowblinds, RightClick, CursorXP and HotPopper. Rightclick and CursorXP are the programs that seem to have had a problem related to installing avast! Even with this basic beginning the avast GUI won't show. Windowblinds has a section to ignore applications and I placed avast there with no affect.
So I'm hoping someone has an idea I haven't thought of yet. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled. I have tried a system restore as well. Norton AV ran well enough for me, just can't afford new subscription at this time so figured I'd go free for awhile. I am running Windows XP SP2.
Any further info not provided that is needed let me know.
Thanks for any and all replies.
