will not load windows/system32/drivers/avgidshx.sys?


When windows is loading it stops on this line "windows/system32/drivers/avgidshx.sys.  At this point nothing more happens with the loading of windows.

Hello to all that encoutered this issue.
One of the solutions, I say one because on other PC BIOS version you may not have this option described bellow.

1st step - You have to enter BIOS settings and search for IDE section settings.
2nd step - Once found you have to sellect “Compatible”
3rd Step - Exit and Save Settings

Now your Windows XP should start normaly.

4th Step - You will receive a message about 2 files that encountered problems. The best thing is to uninstall and after that reinstall a clean copy of AVG Antivirus.

Good luck hopping this will help you by not being forced to reinstall and lose all your files and installed programs.
