PS
Tech  Re your:-

Any other installed antivirus or security program?

The secure program that comes with Vista. That’s why I mentioned “firewall” as I am not sure how they encroach on other programs.
Also, the rag tag of attempted Avast installs.

However, I am not sure why the laptop has virtually shut off broadband.

While I am fumbling about trying to fix things on line. Is the laptop vulnerable to attack  ?

Back to the drawing board.

Thanks

Hi Tech
           
After some time going through what seems to be a normal install, following your instructions the laptop goes quiet. The uninstall went OK.
The reinstall and the licence key was inserted
The install progress green bar went through process. Then I waited.
After some time the HD went static.

I wait then a panel comes on screen :-

“Windows Installer panel shows :-
“Install server not responding”

There is one Avast orange icon bottom of screen and the “avast Internet Setup” panel is still on screen, with green bar full. With VPS above it.
One 2hours later :-

Widows Installer has just appeared, showing “Preparing to install”

All’s quiet on the HD !! no activity now for 2hours. And on line without security !!!!

Bed time now got to switch off.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hi Tech

This is very embarasing 

Followed recommends to the letter.
Started the install ,put licence key in.
Got green progress bar.
Waited … waited , got “preparing to install”
Waited …..

Had to go out for a couple of hours.

Now find Windows Installer showing :-
“install server not responding”

Grrrrrrrrr …………….. 

PS The install files cannot be seen in safe mode; is this correct ?
So as things seemed clear of previous installs I had this last try.

A very old borrowed PC uses Panda and flies along.

What have I done wrong

Hi Tech and others.

Soon after my last post and in desperation. I got the usual notice “pepairing to install”.

It stayed like that for one hour. HD stationary.
We had to out so I left the Laptop on and disconnected the cat cable.
On return 3 hours latter the same notice was on screen. I clicked the X and another warning notice came on screen in red. Two others were behind this one. One, believe it or not, was an invitation to insert the Key which I did then a rapid change of screens occurred. Finally saying that Avast was successfully installed !!
The only thing that I can think that was different in some part of my fumbling was that I had uninstalled in safe mode. As you recommended.


Alls well that ends well. I have the orange rotating ball and it updates smoothly, with vocal notification. All buttons are active.

Thanks for your patience, I nearly gave up.
