Avast and AOL

[modorney]

I have AOL on XP Pro, and just ran Avast.

Now I can't get AOL mail.

I can bring up AOL's main screen, but when I check to log in, the login screen won't come up.

Any thoughts?

 

[wahnula]

Try a System Restore to a time when you COULD receive mail: Start==>Programs==>Accessories==>System Tools==>System Restore

If necessary, uninstall Avast and see if the mail returns. It might be a popup blocker setting, does Avast contain one?

[BadBigBen]

look in AVAST for a setting that blocks JavaScript, most websites use it for loging in a user...

Thanks for the tips, unfortunately Avast won't remove.

Is there a way to remove a program from the startup menu? In the registry?

Is there a way to remove a program from the startup menu? In the registry?

There are a several ways. Windows has a built in utility but I prefer a free program named CCleaner. It's downloadable from several sites including CNet, ZDNet, Tucows, etc.
