AVG VPN unable to establish connection

Hello Ray.
We regret the inconvenience caused. We're here to help.
Are you able to activate the software using the paid activation code after installing the older version?

Hi
Have an XP System
Until 2 weeks ago VPN worked fine now says " VPN Ran into a technical Problem unable to establish connection"
Yes I am connected to the internet Browser was open and functioning
"My AVG" lists my VPN as a valid subscription with 282 days remaining
I have Deleated and Reinstalled VPN program
Deleated current VPN program and installed the older XP Compatible VPN version "which doesn't recognize that my current subscription is paid"
I get the same error message
Any ideas
