Hi all,
I just downloaded Avast on a machine running Win2000 Professional.
It comes up with the error message
Storage cannot be created for the splash task
Configuration is not loaded properly (have uninstalled and reloaded 4 times)
Error dbs Create Object
Program cannot save parameters to the storage
Help… I love Avast
have used it on my ME machine with no problem for years
I have downloaded on friends machines who are using XP without any problems.
Thanks in advance for your help

If you are using the latest version, just right click the avast tray icon, select Program Settings, switch to the Troubleshooting page and check the “Use XML Storage” box.
You may try to open the \data\avast4.ini file and in the [Common] section, change the item Database=ODBC to Database=XML. This could prevent the Microsoft Jet drivers from accessing the database… does it have any (positive) effect?
