  6. Details & exact version of any software (execpt CIS) involved (with download link unless malware): GesWAll 2.91 http://gentlesecurity.com/downloads_geswall.html . I always used it with all the previous version of CIS and I never had issues.

  8. Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons): I think that the uninstallation of previous v 5.10, every time i tried it, was always not complete, although I cleaned the system and the registry, with a cleaner program and then manually.

  2. a) Have you updated (without uninstall) from a previous version of CIS: No, I uninstalled previous version 5.10 and I cleaned my system before installing v. 6.
    b) if so, have you tried a clean reinstall (without losing settings - if not please do)?:
  3. a) Have you imported a config from a previous version of CIS: No.
    b) if so, have U tried a standard config (without losing settings - if not please do)?:
  4. Have you made any other major changes to the default config? (eg ticked ‘block all unknown requests’, other egs here.):

  6. OS version, service pack, number of bits, UAC setting, & account type: Windows XP SP3 32 bit, UAC disabled, logged as admin

Does the CIS GUUI come up at all? If so you could try Diagnostics which might fix the problem.

Otherwise could you please try 1) Uninistalling CIS 6.0 and rebooting 2) Using the CIS forced uninstaller tool carefully using the process described in this FAQ:

If this does not work will will need to submit a bug report. In which case could you append a screenshot of your full Windows task list (process tab), and also your diagnostics file if you can access diagnostics

Thanks for your help. As I believed, the issue was an incomplete uninstalling of the previous version. I did as you wrote and now CIS 6 runs. Great work, many compliments to COMODO team ! :slight_smile:
