Plan-G V0.8.1 won't work start up anymore?

My Plan-G has worked great for the last year or so since I installed it, up until now. The initial screen of Plan-G loads but when it would be time to display the map I get a window that pops up saying "Plan-G is unable to launch the googlemaps interface, please check" and it lists these items:
- my Internet Explorer has not changed but I don't know what version it is, again plan-g worked for a year now
- I checked that my Java script, Active X, and Binary Behaviours are all enabled
- I cleared the browser cache
- last it mentions check your security settings (and maybe thats my problem) as I'm not sure what to do here, and I'm not good with computers.

At this time I will mention one change that was made with my computer. My free AVG antivirus program did not seem to scan this last time I tried it so I unistalled it through the add/remove control panel and reinstalled the latest free version again. I then ran a virus scan, spybot scan, and malaware scan and no issues were detected. I did ran the defrag and also verified that my google maps program works just fine.

Any ideas what might be happening? Should I delete the AVG antivirus altogether and see what happens? Thanks.

It could well be AVG that's blocking it. Try disabling it first, and if that works, there should be a setting in there somewhere that lets you tell it about 'good' programs (I don't have AVG so I can't be any more specific)

I tried to disable AVG, but can't, as there seems to be a problem. It doesn't function right now and I can't do anything with it. I tried to remove it alltogether and can't as it gets some wierd error and says it can't remove it. I then went to AVG website and used their own removal tool program which won't remove it either. So I have an antivirus program that worked for several months, but now doesn't function, can't be updated, and can't be removed.  I see there are others online also having issues trying to remove it. Funny thing is they keep asking if I want to buy their product. Ya right....

The good news is after hours of messing around around trying to sort out the AVG issues my stuff my Plan-G seems to start up now and the map is displayed. I will try it out this week and see how it works, but I expect it will. I don't even know what I did to get it to work.

Anyway thanks Tim. I will continue on the AVG isseues when time permits.

Wigwag,
Your non-removal problem may be caused by the program itself still running some components. Try booting to safe-mode and then removing the program. That may do it.

Yep, did a flight last night and my Plan-G works great. Thanks Joe I will try that out.
