I am trying to install the free version of AVG on Windows XP and keep getting the following message....


Error: Action failed for file avgmfx86.sys: starting service....
Error 0x80070002

does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

Are there any other antivirus or antispyware programs installed? I have found that that will cause this service to not start since multiple antivirus softwares installed can cause problems.

Also, another option is to uninstall/re-install AVG.
