I have been using AVG for several months now. Recently I added a USB Lexmark Scanner/Printer X73. Now when the boot function attempts to run AVGs 'Bootup.exe', the system hangs. I have to unplug the USB cable to get through the boot process. It starts bootup.exe then hangs. I believe there is a simple solution to this problem, I just don't know what it is...

I have a USB Gamepad connected and am using AVG also. No problem booting up. Bios is set as yours. I also have a quick boot option in my peticular bios settings that eliminates some of the power on test routines. I have this option Enabled. Other than that I cannot find any other setting in the Bios or AVG that would correct your problem.
AVG ver. 6.0.346 Win98 SE
Thinking about it as I was typing this out I know of many using AVG and Hardware connected to USB Ports.
I personally would un-install and re-install AVG.
