mac running windows avast not working
« on: March 21, 2011, 04:07:46 PM »
I installed avast security on the windows partition on my mac laptop.  After rebooting I am unable to get back into anything.  I have to plug in a usb keyboard in order to get into either partition of the mac.  Once in avast says it is unable to run.  What can I do?  Do I have to install the mac version of avast on the windows partition?

Thank you for any help.

Please, re-port this into the right thread. Windows partition on mac = stock windows environment, has nothing to do with mac, when you boot directly into it (= no virtualpc things or vmware or parallels or...)
