AVG Free will work with 5600 and 5728 but...
First, I turned off UAC and rebooted. Then I ran the install program in
Compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2. It was also set it as run as Administrator. When the installation was complete I then rebooted. With the AVG virus program updated and running properly I enabled UAC again and rebooted. Now AVG is working and I have no compatibility warnings from Vista. When I originally tried to install AVG Free it had errors on the installation and I received compatibility warnings that could not be resolved through the links provided. This was the newest version a AVG Free downloaded on 9/27. |

Hi
This would be great news but one thing which happened to me with beta2 AVG worked after install plus on re-booting the computer but on 'cold' boot the next day the error about the database happened again - have you completed a cold boot with the setup you have AVG working on just now? I am very interested as this would be great if it worked with UAC enabled. "Rick" wrote: First, I turned off UAC and rebooted. Then I ran the install program in Compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2.

Yes, I did a cold boot after I read your message. I normally use the sleep
mode and turn off the monitor instead of completely powering off the computer. Everything is still OK with AVG after the cold boot. One thing I noticed that is different from my AVG installation with prior builds is that now I can ask for it to manually check for updates and I don't get the UAC warning where I have to approve the action. Now it works like it did under XP and 98SE. BTW: I do have UAC activated now. I only turned it off while I installed AVG. I am running a 5728 upgrade on top of a 5600 build. All my prior Vista installs were on a blank hard drive. "pippin" wrote in message ...

Thank you this is great news and even better now you have the cold boot
and AVG is still working. I am trying to make my mind up for a fresh install of 5728 hoping all will go well as my RC1 is stable atm - fresh install will definitely try AVG again. I thought at first mine was realted to the fact I had AVG Pro on my first hard drive with XP Pro which is why I tehn gave up and had to use Trend but your post and method of install will help me a lot even if I just uninstall Trend and install AVG. I really hope to do a clean install for the new version but will have to backup things first. Thank you for sharing the way to install AVG correctly to allow me to use UAC. Will download the most recent version to have al ready "Rick" wrote: Yes, I did a cold boot after I read your message.
