Avast is killing me

[Guest 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

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

 

my email as presented here will not work in any form. I will check

back Here however. Thanks again.

Re: Avast is killing me

 

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.
