ok. I'll look into those, in the mean time can you do this, it's a simple download, I want to see the event log and a few things. Please download MiniToolBox http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/farbar/MiniToolBox.exe and run it. See link below, Checkmark following boxes: List last 10 Event Viewer log List Installed Programs List Users, Partitions and Memory size List Restore Points Click Go and post the result. Click the link below, then "save" the file to the desktop and "run" it, post the log it creates. This program runs from the desktop, no need to install anything, when we are done we right click on it and delete it. Here is a link that might be useful: MiniToolBox

Your second post should have been the first one to get the best help. No problem, now the picture is clearer. Tell us what you have done, if anything, to resolve your issues. Windows 7 is quite good at fixing itself so let's start there and have you report back what happens. click Start click Control panel You should see a heading 'System and Security', click the bottom link to 'Find and fix a problem. At the bottom of the next page is the option to 'Fix problems with Windows updates, click that. The next window says 'Next' so foloow along to have the test completed. What program/s are you using for anti virus and anti malware?

Dar when I encounter a problem like that I find it simpler to download the program, remove the existing program and install from scratch. Why fight with the issues if there is no need. The link below is to the download site. We would have no idea where AVG might have been directing you. After downloading I would remove the internet cable so you are not vulnerable during the removal and re-install. Then connect after a restart and grab the latest updates.

OP never said what version of AVG. Using AVG 7.5, XP-2. I had update problems for quite a while recently. Not sure if it was part of the update problems they refer to now, but I finally found a link to DL 7.5 again. Part of the install was removal of the old installation. It was easy and is working perfectly now, just as I'd become accustomed to. Can post link if you're looking for 7.5. Support may end 12/31/08 but I'm willing to stick with it as long as its supported. Love programs that do what they promise without slowing things down or constant nagging. Sandy
