I can't get Ad-aware v1.04 or v1.05 to work on XP!
Still running v1.03 which doesn't freeze under any conditions.

I
really must do so......but my best personality trait is
*procrastination*,

I am going to unload a bunch of my mp3's to CD's and then take the
plunge.
I think all the hardware is OK now that I put new nVidia drivers on. It
seems like such a Herculean Undertaking tho......


That's funny, Figgs, cos when you update to SP2 it'll put it's own NVidia
drivers on there anyway! If you had a slipstreamed SP2 cd you wouldn't
have
needed to touch the drivers in the first place.

SOBBING on my keyboard!! You have no idea what I went thru putting those
durned drivers on!!!!! Mike helped me out, but I still had problems.

You should both get an SP2 cd (cover discs or probably at the check out of
your major computer store) ready for when you get round to the XP
installation.

What in heck does *slipstream* mean?? And I will get the CD when the time
comes.

it will do any good, grin......but I feel better!!)
--------------------------

Thanks, Silj........I will go over there and see what's what. And I am glad
(sorry) to hear that it is not just me that is having a problem.....or that
it is just WinME.

Don't tell Noel, but I may have been doing something innocuous (big word of
the week, grin) while running AdAware, but certainly nothing more than
perhaps looking at email. I can do that with Spybot, ahem!!

I will probably go back to 1.03.....if I do go back.

Slipstream in this case means that XP SP2 has been integrated into the XP
image on the original disk meaning that if you install using a slipstream
copy you go straight to having SP2 installed.

If needs be I can mail you a copy since for some odd reason I know you
have a genuine copy of XP Home complete with PID sitting there. vbg

Heather, I hate to see you suffer like this.
Have you tried 'total' unininstall and then reinstalling the thing from
scratch? If you did and it didn't bring any results, how about checking
inside your program for a hidden virus, a trojan or whatever?
There has to be a plausible solution for this problem.
In the meanwhile, did you already get rid of Adaware SE?
If so, why not try it one more time for heaven's sake?
Be a good sport.

1.04 was awful and 1.03 froze a time or two......so whatever they are
doing,
they ain't doing it right (as the Loon would say). Give me back the old,
reliable version 6.xxx!!

And if you want me to post this on Lavasoft Forum, you betcha I will!!!!

Sorry to hear that Figgs. I have only run "Smart System" and Custom
scans to date. No problems as yet. I'm still on ME but, XP Home is in
the box waiting for me to make hardware changes before upgrading.
Reading the XP groups is giving me some tremors though. I might need a
"two--------------finger' martini before I take the leap.

Just make sure you put SP2 on *immediately* after you install XP, then
programs, then devices and you shouldn't have any problems.

I've tried SE 1.05 on two desk tops and one laptop with 98SE and all of them
burp. One had just had a clean install of 98SE and AdAware still took ages
to load. I have had no problem with XP Home or Pro; in fact, it seems to be
made for XP :-)

As Mike says, re the slipstream question. And I think you should take him up
on his offer. If you install SP1 you'll have probably two dozen Critical and
Security updates awaiting you at WU. If you install SP2 you should be
pretty-much ready to roll.


Shane

Personally I can only speak for windows ME, Alias.
Ad-Aware never gave me any trouble whatsoever,
which of course does not mean it can't be troublesome to other machines with
the same OS. But my contention would be, that the program is most likely not
at fault.
On the other hand, I could be wrong too.
Hopefully Heather will find a fix.

Harry, old and faithful.
