Please help me… I just downloaded Avast on a machine running Win2000 Professional.
It comes up with the error message
Storage cannot be created for the splash task
Configuration is not loaded properly (have uninstalled and reloaded 4 times)
Error dbs Create Object
Program cannot save parameters to the storage
Help… I love Avast
have used it on my ME machine with no problem for years
I have downloaded on friends machines who are using XP without any problems.
Thanks in advance for your help
I assume that you are using avast Home version ?
First check out this avast! FAQ answer http://www.avast.com/eng/other_questions.html#idt_1406. For avast! Pro users it is best to update the ODBC Drivers, Home users can switch to XML storage.
Right click the avast! icon and select Program Settings, then Troubleshooting and tick the Use XML storage instead of ODBC.
You can also manually edit the avast4.ini file (using a text editor) and change database=odbc to database=xml, this is in the [Common] section, if you can’t get into the program Settings mentioned above.
