Storage query “INSERT INTO LocalObjects ( Type, Label, Comment, CreationTime, Creator) VALUES (1, ‘Unnamed’, ‘’, 1154001816, 0);” failed. Error description: “unable to open database file [1]”.
Hmm, interesting, does this happen even after reboot?
What if you create a different object (not a task) - e.g. a schedule, or mail alert? Does that work?
Yes. Now I can’t create a task at all
Does not work either for scheduling…
For the alert, I could be created but failed in testing…
What did I do wrong? :‘( :’(
Vlk…
- Tried to repair the installation and boot: nothing
- The avast4.ini file seems correct: [Common] section and Database=SQLT
I just don’t want to listen… uninstall and install again
The storage file (avast\data\avast4.db) seems to be somehow corrupt.
Can you please send it to my email address?
Thanks
Vlk
Sent… 
Vlk has told me the file is ok…
Now what?
I had an old backup (two months ago). I’ve tried to delete the avast.db file… locked by ashserv.exe. Disable avast and delete it, copy the ‘backup’ to the same folder.
Boot.
I cannot create a task… :‘( :’(
This is what upset me most… Why doesn’t avast has a feature to backup the configurations?
On uninstalling you lose skins, avast4.ini file, etc. etc.
There are tons of applications that backup their settings…
I’m really mad with this. I hate uninstalling and installing again >:( >:(
More… The repair option does not ‘recreate’ the default tasks…
I’m thinking this happens because I have avast in two different languages at the same computer (English and Portuguese)… Could it be?
Vlk, lost a lot of time on this… had to uninstall
Tested with English + Portuguese and get the same…
I can’t believe >:( 
I installed only the Portuguese version, boot, I could add Tasks…
Updated to last 4.7.869, boot.
I can’t manage them again >:(
I know something is strange in the accented characters…
Some tasks are displayed as :
Could it be related to my problem?
After closing avast and opening it again, the display is correct.
After booting the display is correct but I can’t manage the tasks >:(
I’ll do whatever to have my Professional version working back again
I’m thinking, now, it’s about avast4.ini file, can I send it for you Vlk for analysis or this is impossible, I mean, it can never be caused by avast4.ini settings?
This is one of the reasons I left, you see how there are no more replies to Tech’s problem now? the problem wasn’t solved so now nobody is helping him try and figure out what could have caused this and how to resolve this because in the couple of checks they did they found nothing wrong. >:(
Vlk, I’ve sent a file to the ftp server called Debug_Technical.zip with all Debug logs in the \Data\Log folder.
Hope it helps…
Justin, I still have hope 8)
Good Tech, never run out of hope if you do then you are giving up, never give up, no matter how bad the situation may be, don’t let this error message beat you tech!
- Some Errors in logs:
Storage query “INSERT INTO LocalObjects ( Type, Label, Comment, CreationTime, Creator) VALUES (1, ‘*Splash’, ‘created from asxAvast’, 1154912169, 0);” failed. Error description: “unable to open database file [1]”.
Storage query “INSERT INTO LocalProperties (Object, Property, Val) VALUES (1, ‘DefTaskVersion’, ‘1’);” failed. Error description: “unable to open database file [14]”.
and tons of others similar to this one…
The file is there: \Data\Avast4.db
No trouble with access permition, neither for System, neither for the Administrator group… neither for ‘All users’… ???
I can open the file in Notepad but I can’t open it in MS Access… is it right?
Something makes me think the problem could be on accented characters on the installation path, or in the name of any previous task, or whatever
- Other problem… I cannot save the specific settings for on-demmand reports… I change, close the settings window, open it and nothing… everything is disabled…

I’m trying to keep my hope
Hi Tech,
Did you analyze the program with FileAlyzer, Process Explorer, and in combination with Resource Hacker. There you can get clues as where to look, also working it over with a hex editor might give you some clues. Don’t you have a backup version before you made the adjustments or when the system was not showing up the apparent bug.
Well I think the team has set out on vacation. Or they are brooding on a solution to the problem, and you might get an answer soon.
I have never understood why avast has not got something similar like ZoneAlarm with its teamz, six experts that answer the questions that normal forum members cannot, they also have access to the bugs archives, and they have the free use of all the software beta programs, there are six of them, look up ZA teamz and you will find them, they found each other by invitation into this team. Here there could be a team*a operating.
Have a nice day, and I hope your problems will be solved soon,
