Wilhelmus 1 Posted March 2, 2005 Copy the 'autoexec.nt' and 'config.nt' files from 'c:\windows\repair' to 'c:\windows\system32'. Share this post Link to post
Wilhelmus 1 Posted March 2, 2005 The developers of avast! are aware of this; they say in their forums that it is bug in their installer. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=6943.0 Share this post Link to post
theefool 0 Posted March 2, 2005 I've yet to see that problem with Avast! itself. I've seen the problem with a few other programs, though. I wonder if the new build of Avast still has that problem. Avast! 4.6 (March 2005) is the latest and greatest version. I'm running it now on this computer. Also, that link from the avast forum has posts from August 2004(if I read it correctly).

It controls the settings for XPs pathetic soundblaster emulation that it provides to old DOS programs that you run through cmd.exe. Commenting out the line effectively disables the emulation. Again this is not a bug but in fact a feature of XP. The error that user was experiencing was likely caused by something else. More than likely a malformated EMM statement within either the autoexec.nt or config.nt was the cause of the problem as that seems to be cause 99% of the time I've seen this issue.
