    I am having problems on a fully patched 32bit Win XPpro PC. It had NOD32v3 installed, and I upgraded it to v4.2.

    After installing v4.2 win log file says: Eset NOD32 fully installed or something like that.
    I rebooted the PC, logged on in the user profile again, but the desktop dod not appear anymore.
    After hard reset logged in with domain admin: everything OK. Cleared tempfiles (also from the original user) and did a full scan in the documents and settings folder.
    returned to the user: still the same problems and needed a hard reset again.

    After rest logged in in domain admin profile and deleted NOD32 V4.2.
    Without NOD32v4.2 i can login the useraccount and everything is Ok then.

    I cleared all ESET folders on C drive, and deleted ESET folders in the registry (hklm\software\eset) and in the user folders in registry)

    After that I repeated the installation, but result is the same.
    In the meantime, the PC is scanned with hitmanpro, but it did not find anything, and in my opinion the PC works just fine...

    Besides: reinstall v3, does anyone have a good ideao_O
    I am not feeling very happy now to be honest :doubt:

    Could you please elaborate on the issue? You wrote: "After installing v4.2 win log file says: Eset NOD32 fully installed or something like that." Unfortunately, this is not sufficient to make a picture of what problem you're having. Does the computer hang with ESET installed and you need to do a hard reset or?

    Hello,

    Were there any errors or warnings in Event Viewer (system/application)?

    Regards,

    Mark

    Hi,

    Im am not at that site now (one of my customer's network), so i cannot give precise information.
    The log entry after install said installation fully completed (perhaps in other words, but the conclusion is clear)

    Yes, with v4 the Windows boots, gives a taskbar + startbutton but no desktop icons, only background (even after a whole night :eek: ) And yes Marcos: i needed to do a hard reset in that case.
    At that stage i could (checked several times) only give CTRL/ALT/DEL to get the screen where you can select taskmanager. But after clicking the Taskmanager, it does not appear. To me it looks like an error with explorer.exeo_O?? Perhaps it is busy/locked one some process?

    And no; I did not find any log entry that I can relate to this issue.
    very strange, isn't it? But I had to make short term choices because i ran out of time. So i chose the workaround with v3

    If possible, have the user reproduce the problem and generate a complete memory dump per the instructions here when the freeze/lockup occurs. When done, I'll provide you with further instructions for uploading the dump to our ftp server.
