SOLVED
Help!
Formated my computer yesterday with "winXP SP3" >>> Updated Windows! >>> Installed Avast!
after installing "Avast Free 6.0.1203"
Windows won't shutdown or restart!
-FORMATED again :'( and installed Avast 6.0.1279 Beta
but nothing changed! still can't shutdown or restart!
(no such a problem when i uninstalled Avast!)
i spent 2 days searching and reading but NOTHING changed
--downloaded UHPclean User Hive Profile clean
--checked event viewer
--Tried Chkdsk, system info, msconfig, regedit & Hiren's boot CD tools etc...
--I tried every single solution i found on web
NOTHING CHANGED!
STILL CAN'T SHUTDOWN OR RESTART MY WINDOWS WHILE AVAST 6 INSTALLED...
BUT I FOUND OUT!!!
-when i use "FireFox 6.0.1" or "IE 8" i face that problem!
-when i use "Firefox 6.0.1" or "IE 8" while Avast "not installed in my system
" everything is fine!
forced the system to shutdown using the magical power of my finger
and when windows started again i tried to shutdown/restart it without surfing the internet or using "FireFox 6.0.1" or "IE 8" and everything went fine!!! (System restarted)
WHILE after writing this post and closing FireFox i'm sure windows not gonna shutdown!
I'M CONFUSED.........
