??? Have you tried to repair avast installation, not to uninstall?

I used aswclear.exe and them used Registry first aid to clean registry. I installed again avast full and it had the same error… i tried to repair using the program panel - uninstall-repair… and i get the next data:

anybody can translate it?

For some reason, ActiveSkin (the 3rd party library avast uses for skinning) does not seem to be working on your system. As a workaround, we may disable skinning in avast - that should solve the problem.

To do that, open the file \data\avast4.ini, look up the [UserInterface] section, and add the following entry:

StartWithSkin=0

hello

For 1 week ago it 's the same for me
I’have disable the skinning in the avast.ini like you say
and now it’s ok

But i don’t understand, because i have not changed my system (xp -sp2)

Change the settings for using skins. After that, try to repair your installation:
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast! antivirus > Remove. Then choose Repair function in the popup window (Repair). You must be connected to the internet while repairing.

If this does not help, can you uninstall / boot / install / boot again?

Avast seems be ok, but i’m waiting for the next automatic updating
to be sure all is ok

thanks
