Message recipient must have WINPOPUP program running in Windows 95. Sender must have installed SMAPI support (e.g. MS Outlook or Eudora) for sending messages via Internet. What is Service Pack? Service pack is short installation in case you have already installed previous version. Service Pack keeps your settings, full install sets everything with default values. To install Service Pack run INSTALL.BAT file and follow the on-screen instructions. Within the installation program choose Service pack (changes only) in installation type selection. What is the Acrobat? Adobe Acrobat is the document viewer. You can find it on our CD in the ACROWIN directory. The installation file is called AR32E30.EXE. You can install it either before or after the AVAST32 installation. Never install both products in the same time! The Help window does not appear Check if the internal help is activated. (Options/Main Console/Basic/Activate internal help) If the internal help is activated and help does not appear try press F1 key to get AVAST32 help window I don't know how to run resident scanner. Switch to enhanced UI. Right-click on Resident: full protection configuration, select Modify and check Run with the operating system box. Then restart computer. New AVAST32 version enables resident protection automatically after its installation When resident scanner is running, it is not possible to print or fax This bug has been fixed. Please install new version. I can't remove macroviruses. Only resident control finds them. You need to install new version where scanner has bigger priority than resident protection. After finding a virus and restarting the computer there is some strange window that can't be closed. Uncheck "Show Virus Warning on user log on" check box and restart the computer. This can be set up from menu "Customize/Enhanced Settings" in older version and menu "Options/Common/Basic" in new version. When I right click shortcut and run Avast check, the program will fail You need new version or you can rename AVSHEX.DLL to prevent this failure but you will not be able to scan files via right mouse click. I don't know how to switch from enhanced UI back to simple UI. Right-click in Customize and select Simple GUI. The message about missing export in MFC42.DLL appears. Some installation overwrote MFC42.DLL file with older version. You can try to rename MFC42.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL and install AVAST32 again. The message containing [FFFFFFFF] appears. The reason is currently unknown. When resident protection is running in Windows NT computer freezes into blue screen. You need to install new version of AVAST32. It is not possible to enter the serial number during the installation process. Do not enter any number and finish installation as DEMO version and then run AVAST and enter the correct serial number in Settings/License box. This can be set up from menu "Settings/License box" in older version and menu "Options/License" in new version. (There is a new serial number since September so contact your vendor to get new number) Avast!: LGUARD scanner in DOS shows message about insufficient memory. Youn need to install new version of AVAST which has less memory requirements. You can also try to run LGUARD from command line and not from AVAST shell. Incorrect serial number is displayed during the installation. When scanner is running during the installation it is displayed that it is only a DEMO although the serial number has been accepted. The correct serial number will be shown when AVAST is started from hard disk so after successful installation.
