If you dont mind, I quote the quoted text in my email: >>>> I think the problem is related to a faulty plugin. If a plugin gives an >>>> exception while loading, The Bat! removes all the plugins. >>>What it means? Should we wait for new version of Avast plugin? > I don't know. Could you please add plugins one by one. After adding > each plugin, exit The Bat! and run it again. So you will be able to find a > troublesome plugin. So, if a plugin gives an exception, TB removes all the plugins. I think, TB should warn the user about it. Nothing to do with Microsoft. > I suppose that is not exactly what you have in mind, do you? But > then again, how should it be done? See above. Hope, it is clear now. -- Vili The Bat 4.1.11.13 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.2.23.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
