Do you mean you couldn’t find anything on google? I did a search on 80004005 and it returns thousands of hits and the first seems very relevant. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q306518

This is pointing to ODBC driver errors, and when we usually hear that in the forums we suggest changing the Database=ODBC to database=XML in the avast4.ini. Check out this thread for lots of options you can set through the avast.ini file. Understanding avast4.ini file

Or use RejZor’s avast! External Control program to change it.

For some reason it still does not work after doing what you guys mentioned and i read the other forums you sent and it still does not work.

Any thoughts?
