I'm wanting to know if there's any way to run Avast in safe mode on Vista. To be precise, I'm not looking for ways to scan my computer, more to actually run it as protection as I would do in normal mode.
The reason for this is that, for some reason, I'm unable to boot into Normal Mode, at least not functionally. When I do so, I only get a black screen (my desktop is black) with the taskbar's outline along the bottom, but no clock or anything. If I hover over or click anything's usual location that would normally bring up a menu (eg the Start menu, system tray etc) I see an outline come up, but nothing within it. This is in addition to other issues I've had recently with the screen freezing/ going black, distorting, etc. In an attempt to find out what the issue is, I booted into Safe Mode and found that the issue doesn't occur at all, so I'm attempting to figure out causes/ fixes for the problem. However, until it's fixed, I can't use Normal Mode and therefore don't have Avast running as normal. Is there any way around the problem to allow Avast to behave as normal in Safe Mode?
