Problem installing/running Windows Defender Offline
Greetings all,
I currently am using Avast AV on my Win 7 64 bit machine. No known problems. I decided to try out the Windows Defender Offline 64 bit version. Downloaded 800k file and ran which prompted me to insert blank CD and it then downloaded and expanded the files onto the CD. All seemed to work fine.
Next, I rebooted from the CD and I got the white bar (progress meter) along the bottom which said "Windows is loading files". Took couple of minutes. One time it made it about 90% through loading. Next time it made to where it said starting Windows. THEN...
It appears the video signal to my monitors dies (which means computer freezes??). Screen went to black and I got a couple of Samsung monitor error boxes (Analog/Digital/Analog/Digital) on the screen which the monitor does when no video feed. Then the monitor went into powersaving mode since no feed. The computer's hard drive light was flashing once about every two seconds. Once I left it for about 90 minutes in this state and it never moved on.
So, ideas? Do I need to run MSE as my AV program with Windows defender? Bad install? Anything else?
Thanks
