Avp will not run on win2k

[i3omberman28]

Hey i have problems running avp on win2k!
As soon as win2k starts.. nothing in the taskbar loads.. and no icons on the desktop load either!

I have experienced this problem ONLY.. when i installed AVP.

When i uninstalled it, everything seemed to be back to normal.

However, I still wanna test AVP.on win2k os.

SO can anyone plz tell me how to fix it?

AVP? Anti-Virus Protection? What brand? What version?

I know I tried to install Norton 2000 on my W2K machine and it didn't work. Had to go get 2001.

Have you checked the box and confirmed that whatever it is you're using is W2K compliant?

[i3omberman28]

Im not quite sure what version it is, but i do know that it is SUPPOseD to work with win2k pro.

U c that is the problem!
They reckon that it is supposed to work with win2k pro, when it totally stuffs up my comp! and wehn i restart the comp.. nothing in the taskbar loads and nothing on the desktop loads!

HeLP Me!

You need to be more specific. Such as, the AntiVirus package you are using (i.e. Norton Antivirus, InoculateIT, etc.), exact problem that you are havingc, etc.

Sorry, but an attitude like what you are giving us doesn't get you help faster here!

I'd contact the company that made AVP.

AVP doesnot run well or at all on some win2k macines try updating to AVX.

[i3omberman28]

But is avx any good when compared to kapersky lab's avp?

R u sure that there is no version of avp that actually runs on win2k pro?[LIST]

Kaspersky AVP Platinum and AVP Gold are advertised as Win2K compatible:

AVX is not an update to AVP.. I have AVP running on my W2k Pro fine. Are you using AVP 3.1 or AVP 3.5? You have to use AVP 3.5 to run correctly on W2k. Also be aware that 3.5 will not run on any Windows Server software. For all of you that don't know what AVP is you might want to educate yourself about it. It is the BEST antivirus software out there right now.

Well i downloaded the latest trial version of avp, and it seemed to fully crash my computer every time i boot it up!

What is the reason for this?
