A Squared and OA?

[Rilla927]

Hi Mike,

I installed A Squared 2.0 and it was in the middle of scanning and Dr. Watson popped up and said "sorry oasrv.exe has encountered a problem and has to close" something like that anyway. Then the icon turned blood red.

I allowed everything for this program. Are there incompatibility issues? If so I didn't know, sorry.

Also in IE Extensions in OA, is there a way to actually remove that extension from the list? I clicked on delete and it changes it to "no" only but it's still in the list.

Thanks

I ran another scan with A Squared to see if I could get some kind of error message that would help.

Error message:

oasrv.exe Error

The exception unknown software exception (0x0eedfade) occured in the application at location 0x7c8leb33.

I checked task manager and oasrv.exe was using 74,000K.

Using XP Pro w/SP2 current.

Hi Rilla,

OA and A Squared are fighting at the moment. I'll get this solved ASAP.

No problem!

I know you will take care of it :D

For what it's worth, I just ran a-squared Free Version 2.0 (actually 2.0.0.209) and had no compatibility issues with OA AV+, also running XP Pro w/SP2 current. So it looks like OA AV+ and a-squared are now playing well with each other.

The only thing I noticed was (a) the new a-squared GUI looks nicer than the old a-squared GUI (IMHO), and (b) the new a-squared took f-o-r-e-v-e-r to scan my PC. Maybe it's just me, but it seemed like there was a dramatic slowdown in their scanning engine (this was run on a 3GHz Pentium 4 HT with 1GB RAM).

Granted, I don't usually sit there staring at the progress(?) bar, but next time at least I'll know I have enough time to wash the car, throw some steaks on the barbecue, and enjoy a nice meal while the scan is still running (although the term 'running' actually invokes visions of speed which are sorely lacking in this version).

Hi Virtual Steve :) ,
I think the problem may also crop up with the paid, realtime version of A2...
Maybe a timing issue at startup when it is resident together with the AV engine of OA, as Mike suggested it.
I have the paid version and if you start A2 MANUALLY at the end of all the startup processes or disable the kav engine before rebooting, no problem at all... :roll:
