ive checked those, i was originally using windowblinds when this started
but since these problems came up i have just been running in classic theme
i have triple checked all of my properties regarding the appearance and have
tried locking, unlocking, autohide, not autohide etcetc.

that still wouldnt explain missing drivers and extreme login/logout times.

also when i minimize a window is does not dock to a small or hidden taskbar
but just perches itself at the bottom of the screen, like a minimized file would
in photoshop of similar.

also i just tried to boot it up again to uninstall my tablet software all together
and now it says my ATI display drivers are missing.

...and the uninstallation of my tablet software froze.... if this wasnt the most expensive thing
i owned i would throw it out the window.

all of these issues happened exactly after my reboot of installing avast two days ago
and that is the only thing i have changed on my system in a month.
I agree that a bad antivirus installation, one that does not work, will mess the computer.
But I also know that if you don't have any other antivirus/security program that could interfere, avast should install ok in a computer. I've tested since Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP and Vista... avast never messed the desktop like you're experiencing.

Can you please, post the last 100-150 files of avast log?
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log\Setup.log

im afraid i no longer have that file, since i used the uninstallation app that wiped all the avast files.

dang.

is there possibly another place i could check for a log of sorts?

i noticed one article in a search that said removing newdotnet can cause slow system and data loss, but it may have been a typo, who knows...http://www.auditmypc.com/process/newdotnet.asp

Because newdotnet gets into your connection settings, removing it can also damage your ability to connect to the internet.

Quote from: From your link
This plugin will bind itself to the windows socket layer to intercept all DNS requests from your machine. Due to this, you should not delete this file (as it will prevent your computer from accessing the internet/any network). Instead, you should look online for a removal tool or instructions on removing it safely.


I wouldn't go looking for this dll to see if it resolves the problem, firstly it is spyware and secondly where would you put it and then you would have to register it I believe.

However as your XP set-up doesn't connect to the internet I don't know if this might present itself in other ways.

This has been used in the past to restore connections lost when newdotnet is removed, even though you don't normally connect with XP.

Lost Internet Connection - To recover you internet connection, try downloading and running WinsockXPfix: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html

NEWDOTNET - Check out this topic http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=21608.0
No needs to do all of this.

For XP SP2, try Windows Start button, Run - type 'netsh winsock reset' without the quotes - this may be enough to fix the issue.

Sorry I haven't been able to be more helpful, as I said I have never come across this before.

Good luck.
