Did you do a complete install of SAS (downloading the full updated version --- and if so, my understanding is that, as part of the process, it uninstalled the older version)?
I tried doing an internal update [via Right-Clicking on the "bug" icon, and checking for updates], but at present, it's not finding anything... I assume they will phase things in, so as not to overload their servers...
While trouble-shooting another problem, I noticed in event-viewer the following: Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7000 Date: 18/11/2008 Time: 7:30:13 PM User: N/A Computer: ***** Description: The SASDIFSV service failed to start due to the following error: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
I also noted that SASDIFSV was disabled in my device manager. SASDIFSV is a driver for SAS. After a re-boot, the entry disappeared.

Thanks for the info Red Dawn! ky331, I just received the update after doing a right 'Bug click". It did the internal update - no problem.

AVAST! version 4.8.12871290
November 18 "19"(*), 2008
.
.
for those avast users who are not set to automatically download PROGRAM updates:
RIGHT-click on the Avast icon in your system tray, select UPDATING, and then PROGRAM UPDATE
.
EDIT: A few hours after releasing build 1287, avast followed it with build 1290 (same description) ---
1290 updates the file ashTask.dll, which "contained a stupid bug... That's why 1290 was released asap".
(*) It may already be the "19th" in some parts of the world, but where I am, it's still the 18th ;-)

Please note the EDIT to the avast post above, as avast quickly "updated their update"
