because of a dead motherboard i changed it for a new one (nforce4 ultra motherboard = ASUS A8N-E bios 1008)
on a fresh install of winxpsp2 (NVIDIA DRIVERS V6.66, MICROSOFT DRIVERS FOR ADAPTEC 29160 / ASUS ATI and CREATIVE DRIVERS (VIA WEB AUTOUPDATE) AUDIGY PREMIUM EX) nvfirewall on or off - windows firewall on or off
i can download the latest free home french version of avast (via iexplorer or firefox) but can't install it :
altought everything else works (windowsupdate, windows activation, spybotsd, microsoft antispyware.....)
even the english version of setup crash (even with uncompacting setup with upx1.25):
message = an error 1006 (00003ee) has occured.
Last performed operation was :
opening the self-extract archive
Try to download setup file again.
If you use internet explorer, clear its cache before downloading:
Start->Control Panel->Internet Options and Delete Temporary Internet Files
So please HELP ME: I Don't understand what's wrong execpt i can't use this fantastic program
