Did this resolve your problem? LoggedEd KHere I am again, back to same problem. I have crashed and have done a complete reinstall. Back to same issue be complete crash. I have an emachines about 4 years old. It came with emachines restore disk which has gotten me back to operation but without security. It came with McAfee security which is loaded upon reinstall. But since it is 4 years old they want purchase before registration therefore is useless. McAfee has special uninstall issues. I followed their directions and downloaded their uninstall tool to be used after unistall from menu. The unistall from load/uninstall went o.k. The unistall tool says it failed. Their instuctions say record error log to text file and send. When it says unistall failed you cannot save log. Does Avast have tool to remove other peoples software that causes Avast to crash or hang up when updating. Free install worked fine, but when I entered key for paid program it automatically went into upgrade mode and seemed to upgrade ok but after reboot hangs up and you have to go back to last good open file to get back up. |
