Since installing Avast 4 Home, I can't play music files in my major players. I'm running Windows 98 and there are no errors in Device Manager on my hardware.
Windows system files play fine (start-up, shut-down, etc.).
Voyetra Audio Station plays CD's fine.
I have not been able to play WAV, Midi, or Mp3 files in RealPlayer 10, Windows Media Player 7.1, JetAudio, or MusicMatch Jukebox. They all bring up the music file information (title, length) but won't play the file. They are all blocked. When I open Avast it shows that particular player or the last music file I tried to play in that player as the last file scanned. When I shut down Avast, they all play. I tried moving the Standard Shield setting from High to Normal, but they still won't play.
What do I have to do to get Avast to allow these files to play?
Thanks!
