Ok first off if you have an always on connection like DSL you will want to unplug that from your computer. It's just a precaution. Then click start, click run, type in msconfig, run it, click the BOOT.INI tab, check the /SAFEBOOT box, close msconfig, the computer will ask you to reboot, reboot, when Windows loads it will look different and will ask you if you booted into safemode in error, tell it to continue working in safemode, now try to uninstall AVG, when done click start, click run, type in msconfig, run it, click the BOOT.INI tab, uncheck the /SAFEBOOT box, close msconfig, the computer will ask you to reboot, reboot, then install the other antivirus, replug internet cable, and that should do it.

Boot into safe mode by taping F8 before the windows splash screen. This will put you into safe mode. If you are about to boot up you know its a software or driver conflict. There really is no simple answer to this. I will need more information.

To get into the Windows 2000 / XP Safe mode, as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" as shown below. Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.\n\nWith some computers if you press and hold a key as the computer is booting you will get a stuck key message. If this occurs, instead of pressing and holding the "F8 key", tap the "F8 key" continuously until you get the startup menu.\n\nTo get out of safe mode: From Windows Safe Mode click Start / Shutdown and restart the computer. This should start the computer automatically back into Normal Mode.
