UNKNOWN ERROR!!!

When I start avast, 3 windows come up that say,

storage cannot be created for “splash” task

the 2nd window says, configuration is not loaded properly. Error: dbsCreateObject

the 3rd window says, program cannot save parameters to the storage!
(Error: dbsCreateObject)

i tried reinstalling but it wont work

NEED REPLY FAST!!! HELP ME!

Basically your ODBC driivers (used for database storage) are out of date or corrupt and avast uses ODBC method of database storage.

First check out this avast! FAQ answer http://www.avast.com/eng/other_questions.html#idt_1406. For avast! Pro users it is best to update the ODBC Drivers, Home users can switch to XML storage.
Right click the avast! icon and select Program Settings, then Troubleshooting and tick the Use XML storage instead of ODBC.
You can manually edit the avast4.ini file (using a text editor) and change database=odbc to database=xml, this is in the [Common] section.
