Guest Don Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Hey gang, I run AVG 8 , free version, on my Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I thought I would ask here first, in case anyone else has run across this. Recently, the update manager has stopped working in it, for me. When I boot, the icon will just have a red mark in it, and when I open the program from the notifcation area, it states the update manager is not working. I basically have to manually update the program each day. I have tried different settings under advanced-tools-update manager, but none seem to change this behaviour. Thought I would check here for ideas first, would appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks, -- Don
Guest Bobby Johnson Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Re: AVG 8 question You can try un-installing the program and then re-installing the program. Re-boot the system after un-installing before you re-install.

Guest Don Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Re: AVG 8 question Ok, I gave that a try, and so far it appears to have resolved it. I uninstalled, rebooted, and re-installed. Rebooted after the new install, and it appears to be working ok now.

Guest Bobby Johnson Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Re: AVG 8 question I get similar program problems from time to time. I think the root of the cause is the computer has a 'brain fart' and then something doesn't work right. Maybe there's gremlins in there foolin' around?
