Hi: I need some help.
I was using Grisoft AVG7 the free edition, and it was locking me up when I would try to get on line with Verizon DSL. I tried to unistall it, but it would give me an error and stop the uninstall. Here is what the error was. Error-Action failed for file setup.exe:creating backup access is denied (5)% destination%-"C:\program files\Grisoft\AVG Free\setup.exe. install_backup"'%source%="C:\programfiles\grisoft\avgfree\setup.exe"
That is the error I got every time I went to uninstall Avg7. So knowing that it was not allowing me to use my DSL I Deleted the Grisoft Folder in programs, and deleted everything I could find in reference to Grisoft, and AVG7, using Find files and folders. I can not find anything that is named this on my computer anymore, its gone that I can see. Now my DSL works great I get on every time with no problem and its not locking me up or taking forever to do something on my computer, so I know for sure that AVG7 was really the cause of my problem. By the way I am using Windows 98 second edition. Now the small problem that I have and would like to get corrected is, when I boot up my computer now I get an error every time saying. Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run windows or a windows application. The windows registry or System.ini file refers to this device but the device file no longer exists. Try uninstalling the associated application using its unistalll or set up program Then it shows this D:\progra~1\grisoft\avgfre~1avg7core.vxd. I hit the space bar 3 times and then my computer boots up, and works great. I would like to remove this error but I have know Idea how to do it.
If I download AVG7 again I am sure I would still get the Uninstall error, because I did that once but because I could not uninstall I was not able to copy over the one that was already on my computer. I have not tried to reinstall AVG7 since I removed all of it by deleting it. So I need some help to get rid of the boot up delay and be rid of AVG7 forever.
Thanks Ken
