err i know it has been months since this topic's been posted, but I just had an avast update a few hours ago. (Didn't read what version it was, coz I just love this av so much that I let it do anything it wants on my pc.
When it asked for a restart, I just clicked yes and when it has already done so, it got stuck on the Welcome screen (Windows Vista, btw). I tried to restart it a dozen of times, did a lot of stuff i got from forum after forum, to the point where I nearly did a complete reformat without back-up coz any safemode thingy gets stuck at the crcdisk.sys issue and just reboots after that, system restore has turned its back on me, last known good configuration comes from the dvd boot that ends up with an incompatible version of sys. repair....sys. repair is impossible bec it said that it wasn;t compatible with whatever there was on the repair option thingy-y'know just below the install windows or something like that...(im a girl who isn't exactly fond of remembering pc terms..., tried but can't), thought it was a hard drive problem and that the HDD needed to be replaced
so anyway,after this series of unsuccessful, unguided and stupid things i've been doing on my poor, frankensteined pc, I left it with the welcome screen and was preparing for bed, then it made the sound that tells you: "i'm done with the welcome screen, desktop's turn) I was about to turn it off but then i saw that it was already fine. I wanted to kick the thing.
Idk what happened, but to the earthling who is reading this post somewhere in the distant future, if this happened to you and you're stuck @ the welcome screen, JUST WAIT FOR IT, don't do anything drastic like i did-I was just lucky enough that my stunt earlier didn't do anything to my pc....whether i liked it or not.
