AVG Resident Shield won't load on startup
 

I'm using Vista and when AVG first starts up i get an error that says the resident shield isn't loaded. i can manually start it, but it won't auto start when avg does. i've checkin in windows services and the resident shield is set to auto. anything else i can try? thanks in advanced.

I had a similar problem the other day. I just reinstalled the program (free version, mind you) and that fixed up all of the programs. My Resident Shield and updater were acting a bit funky. :jam:

yeah, i've tried reinstalling but it's still doing the same thing...i don't know what else to try. could there be some other service i need to enable for resident shield to auto-start?

1) Click start.
2) Click Run and type in services.msc.
3) Scroll down to the relevant service, right click and select properties.
4) Check for any DEPENDENCY SERVICES and see if they have been started.

i think that did it. thank you fernando!
