ok, windows xp sp3 32bit ok, windows xp sp3 32bit, avast version 10.2.2214.845. On windows startup, avast icon comes up in the tray with a red circle and white X. open the avast program and it says service not running. I click resolve all, and it starts and turns green. Upon restarting windows, it's the same again, service not running. I hit resolve and all is well. I've installed avast using add/remove programs and also in safe mode using avastclear. Reinstalled avast and the same again. I've gone into services and looked at dependencies, it needs aswmonflt and RPC. RPC is set to auto and is started. Aswmonflt is in windows/system32/drivers and also under program files/avast directory. After checking the dependencies are running, I hit start on the avast service and it starts right up. I'm just trying to figure out why it's not auto starting with windows startup. I've also compared the reg settings with another working computer with XP and they're the same.
What would possibly keeping from starting at windows startup but allow you to manually start the service
