From mauserme:
If you're not completely bored with this would you try opening the program from the start menu
click start at the lower left of your screen
hover the mouse pointer on All Programs and slide up to avast! Antivirus.
then slide over to avast! Antivirus and click it
Is this more successful?
I just tried this without any success. I can use any of the other options on the a ball, just not the Start !avast Antivirus. And since the unchecking of enabling skins and such, I no longer get error messages and my computer is running smoothly.
I have not used my French in 40 years. Until that time it was what I spoke with many friends in University, but alas that time is ended. It is so rusty it makes me sad.
I have been busy fighting Turbo Tax (a lot more complicated this year). Much sadness there as well.
To DavidR:
Thank you for your instruction. However I am in the forest with the terminology and how to do it. I do not understand why everything else is working smoothly and the start antivirus is not. I will keep working on it.
