Volans, you are great person… having so much problems and you’re still here. That shows us (among the other things) that you are great man. You didn’t give up on first problem you encountered with avast! and in my opinion, that wasn’t some minor problem… that is something huge, 'cause you are unable to use avast! antivirus because of that.

I am the person (after Martin who is Alwil Team member) who made most of the skins for avast! Unfortunately, your problem is not skin related, but it is related to the program engine that runs skins. We should wait a little bit more to get some answers from Alwil guys… maybe they have some other possible solutions for your problem. I remember that few people had exactly the same problem as you are having right now, but they followed instructions on this page:

http://www.avast.com/eng/support/faq/avast_4_home_profe/other_questions/i_have_installed_ava.html

… and I remember, those simple instructions solved their problems. Something is really strange on your system, and it seems like those steps doesn’t help at all.

Please be little more patient (if you can), and stay here… don’t give up so easy, and please don’t leave. We will find some solution sooner or later… I’m pretty sure.

Cheers !
