Installation Issue - Not Allowing Users To Log Onto Pc
Hello,
Just tried to install Bitdefender AntiVirus 2010 on 4 PC's. All PC's are WinXP 32bit. Mixtture of SP2 & SP3. Cannot check as I cannot log into PC's after installation.
All PC's had Bitdefender AntiVirus v10 which I un-installed prior to installing 2010.
The installation appeared to go as normal. Sucessfully registered/activated product plus updated and did quick scan however. This included one reboot during the installation process.
When all this was completed and a did a final restart could not log into the PC's. The system will say applying settings and then after a couple of seconds will simply log the user off and take them back to the logon screen.
This occurs on all 4 PC's both in safe or normal mode and with the user account and the administrator account.
I am a bit desperate since as far as the customer is concerned I have made 4 of his PC's inoperable and the 4 users are now unproductive plus because of the nature of the problem I cannot access the systems to even uninstall Bitdefender.
Prior to installing on customers PC's did a test install on one of my PC's and everything worked fine.
Any help is appreciated.
