Avast is killing me

B

BigWhoop

I tried to get a service ticket and I cannot get registered either.

I cannot get a clean uninstall completed . I keep getting error
message.. I used their uninstall software.


my attempted communication with them is:
Can someone tell me how to get this error message out of my computer?
I am dual booting. It comes up when I run the old cardfile program I
have forwarded for years....while in windows 2k.. I have not had a
problem if I run it from Windows ME. I run the application from the
ME directory only.


16-bit Windows Subsystem:

C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\aswMonVd.dll.

An installable Virtual Device Driver failed Dll Initialization.

Choose 'Close' to terminate the application

Close Ignore

this recommended fix does not work: "What AVAST's brain-dead
installation script seems to do is to
> APPEND a line to the Win-XP system-file ...\system32\CONFIG.NT

There is no such line in my config.nt file

I boot windows ME and 2000pro. The program that is triggering the
message is a 16bit that sits in the C:\Windows (ME) directory
rather than the the D:\WNNT directory altho I have looked all over
the place for the culprit.. and I removed ALWIL from the 2000Pro
registry and the ME directory using Avast uninstall software off
their Support site.




please give me a solution that works..thanks

any help from you groups folks would be greatly appreciated

back Here however. Thanks again.

You cannot blame Avast for your problem. It is/was totally in your hands
before the installation of the program. In all probability you failed to
read their file.
Regardless, with dual boot you'd have to make certain considerations.
But there's still hope for relief in your case, coming from an expert.
A little patience may be in order.

Harry.
