Odd error message when try to start avast av

Suddenly, when I try to start avast av I get an odd error message that says

“An attempt was made to load a program with an
Program cannot set properly in main Storage”

That’s exactly what it says.

What to do?

Avast version 4.7 home
Win98se

Thanks.

What are you trying to start as avast should run on boot ?
If it is the Simple User Interface for an on-demand scan then I haven’t seen this error for some time and is associated with an old version of avast.

Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow. You need to be on-line to do this.

Check about avast, what is your exact version, the latest is 4.7.986 ?

Since version 4.7.807 a new data storage called SQLT is used by avast!
As David asked, which version are you using?
