Hi,
Is there any body else having problems installing the new AVG7 anti virus,
I have tried a couple of times and each time I get a corrupted registry, (blue screen).

Not a lot of help I know but I have installed it on 2 separate (XP) systems now without issue. 1 was a fresh build and the other a remove version 6 and install version 7.

If XP have you installed SP2? If so maybe run the Service Pack again as this quite often fixes strange errors (though not always). If not installed SP2 and XP then.....

Oh dear - not a lot of help either, but I have successfully installed V7 over version 6 on all computers I have an interest in. Two run on XP pro with SP2, one on XP home with SP2 and my trusty lappy on Win98 series 2. In every instance, the downloaded file recognised an existing registered version of V6, deleted it and installed itself seamlessly. Thinks - have you downloaded a corrupted file from Grisoft?

P.P.

I've also installed it twice on XP machines - no issues.

I'd try installing it with your OS in safe mode - it may be that's in trying to over-write a file that is stuck in lock mode.

Devlin Carnet,

Have you tried in Safe Mode? (It might not install that way since it will not have all the resources needed but if it does not BSOD it will answer some questions for us.)

Take Care,

Richard
