F Secure 2010 + Windows XP "Scan Wizard" won't start under any condition.

Hello,
I tend to do a monthly scan for a very old computer (only 1GB RAM) with XP SP 3, but since last month I have been unable to run any kind of manual scans, and schedulled scans don't run at all. The "Scan Wizard" never appears after clicking on the scan/Full Computer Scan nor any other options. Sometimes the Security Suite window simply disappears after clicking it (like if the app crashed). I have reinstalled the application time and time again, using CCleaner and the F-Secure uninstallation tool, but to no avail. I also have run a couple of times MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware.
Please give me a hint of what to do as I don't want to format the computer because of this, as otherwise has been working fine.
Kind regards,
Marco Gargari

Hi,
first point before any further help is possible:
1.) do you still have a valid licence?
2.) Please update to 2012! Your licence is also valid for running 2012.

Yes, it requires more ressources than 2010, but 1GB should still be enough.
Also it mght be a good idea to test with some more GB (borrow from a friend) 1GB currently costs some 20 $ at the moment and would most likely boost the total PC-Performance...
If you almost have everything up to date, you won't get this type of problem. I have both old and new computer. F-Secure works with the new computer, but not in the old computer.
