![]() ![]() My laptop just died (power input shorted). Have an issue with my Dell Laptop which was running Windows 7 Pro (64bit) and had Avast (free) installed. However, I did not try to run "msconfig" from the repair console Command Prompt to see if I could modify startup from there, since some threads I read indicated that doesn't work. So looks like best choice I have short of re-installing windows is trying to kill it in the registry. Could this be causing avast to error out? I did note that avast does have recorded the computer ID (not sure where it comes from), but this is obviously changed since running on a different computer so the processor/mother board are different. ![]() Hoping someone can guide me in what keys to delete to keep avast from loading at startup. ![]() I can run "regedit" from this environment so did a test and was able to load the software hive file into the editor renamed "avastkill" but exited without changes. Launched Avastclear.exe but got message indicating not all required system components or something were not available. From the Repair Console I was able to get a Command Prompt. Booted from a Windows 7 Recovery CD I burned from downloaded ISO file. ![]()
