Hi,
I am unable to run Avast without it freezing my system. Here is the scenario. It runs fine in the background, but when I try to open the program here's what happens:
I right click on the tray icon and choose "Start avast! Antivirus"
The memory test runs fine, then a window pops up and the system freezes. The top of the window says "avast! simple user interface". No text appears in the white background. It seems that the program interface is only partially loaded behind this window, as I can kind of see the desktop through it. At this point, I must do a hard reboot to get the system running again.
The only log that appears is an information log under Antivirus that says "ASWSIMPLE program run information: CaswSimplePos::LoadWindowMove [] failed."
My system has also frozen while the Avast screensaver is running the VRDB Generator, but that doesn't happen every time as the above does.
I did try uninstalling Avast, downloading a fresh copy, and reinstalling, but the same problems occurred.
I am running Windows 2000 Professional SP3 with plenty of RAM. The only thing different about my system is that I had to load Windows as a "Standard Computer" configuration so that I could manually configure my IRQ settings (long story, but it worked).
Any ideas? Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks!
Marje
