on-access protection won't start

[szc]

I will try & ODBC database to XML (when the circle appears again & the on access protection again won't turn on)  - that is a suggestion that hasn't been previously posted. 

You must not have read my previous posts carefully - I DID do the repair thing (from the change/remove programs), I DID re-install Avast.  The circle still remained after I did those things & restarted the computer.  It only disappeared after several restarts later for who knows what reason.  But I will try your above NEW  suggestion.....

Well maybe I didn't, but you are not the only one in here who needs help. There is literally thousands of people asking for something, and we provide this help for free... absolutely for free. We are not a part of Alwil Software, and all this is our good will so always have that in mind.

I gave you few suggestions, and among those few suggestions, if I posted something that you haven't tried before, that's what counts. Why not try with new suggestion and then post back with a report if that helped in any way ?

Hi, this is the first time I've had a problem with avast!, its the same problem

I just installed an Lan network between 2 PC with cross over cable for UT2004, now avast won't start....tried everything listed in search for "AAVM subsystem detected a RPC error" no luck. I removed the network and still have the problem.

Well, the circle reappeared yesterday & the on-access protection is again not working.  So, I changed the odbc database to xml - rebooted the computer - no change.  I next did the repair option in the add/remove programs - rebooted the computer - no change.
