Avast GUI Loads on Startup
« on: March 24, 2010, 08:55:16 PM »
Ever since I upgraded to Avast 5 the GUI Window loads every time I start my Windows XP computer. (On My notebook running Vista it never does this) I looked at MSConfig and also looked to make sure the /nogui is in the command line which it is. I figured /nogui would prevent it from opening at start-up but I guess it does not. Is there any way to fix this issue because It really slows down my computer when it starts up.

If you run regedit.exe and search for AvastUi.exe occurrences in the whole registry - do you find only the one autorun association you see in MSConfig, or are there more of them?
(you can ignore the avastlicfile associations)

did u install as admin? do u use xp sp3?
if you see /nogui command with avast in the autostart section it should work.
could also be a double-install, faulty update/upgrade.
maybe also a de/reinstall could help.

yes I run XP Service Pack 3 and installed as admin. I have tried to uninstall I downloaded the avast uninstall utility from the website, tried uninstalling in Safe Mode and Regular, cleaned the registry and when I reinstalled the same thing keeps happening. Is there any fix for this?

I still see the /nogui in the command line but obviously isn't working

You didn't answer igor,

...do you find only the one autorun association you see in MSConfig, or are there more of them?


I think this is most likely where the answer lays...there was another thread somewhere that had someone with two entries, and this caused the behavior...

No there is 1 entry and only 1 entry in MSconfig. I see saw someone post about this problem so I am not the only one with this issue.

huh... :(
maybe u can try 2:
remove the /nogui entry
restart twice (see what happens!)
after that add the /nogui entry again
restart twice & hope...
last try would b 2 start the debugging protocol, but i'm not shure if this is logged there...???
sry, out of ideas if it doesn't help, since u did everything that could be done, imo.
good luck, :)

That didn't work either, I wonder if they will create a fix for this in an update or better uninstall and switch to a different anti-virus

maybe it's a conflict with one of your drivers?
