I've formated & reinstalled windows xp sp2 & proceeded with putting all the programs etc back on. I used to run AVG v6 or 7 but saw that AVG v8 (free) was available so installed that.
Now I get a blue screen with white writing say something about windows being shut down to protect pc, "driver_unloaded_without_cancelling_pending_operatins" and:
Quote: The problem seems to be caused by the following file: avgtdix.sys
Beginning dumping of physical memory, physical memory dumping complete
Any ideas what is wrong? even if I restart pc it will load windows & once on desktop, icons wont work & then a min later- blue screen again. So far I've wiped it again & reinstalled again & same thing happened for 2nd time, I managed this time though to run it in safe mode & do a system restore back to before I'd put on other programs like bitcomet, my scanner, my printer (NOTE: my scanner is very old & doesnt have the 'windows certificate' thing but I chose to install anyway, I had thought maybe this newer AVG was thinking its a threat & crashing windows, but after system restore I loaded scanner on & drivers etc & restarted fine) Do you think it could be a bug or something in AVG8? I;ve since found out it was only released 3 days ago.
Hi ppl, I was currently running WinXP Professional SP2 but faced the same problem when I installed a security patch for KB884020! Thankfully for me, the update automatically makes a System Restore Point before replacing files. I was able to reboot into Safe Mode and go to System Restore to revert back to life as it was before this update :D
If you have some restore point before your updates, you can access it from Safe Mode since the problematic AVG driver is apparently not loaded at-all in Safe Mode!!!
