Q: I have installed 'avast! 4 Home' and everytime I try to open it, I get an error message stating: "unknown error message", "Application cannot load skin. Function usiGetSkin Failed". How can I fix this?

A:

1. Select START -> RUN...
2. Enter the following command:
   • If you have Windows NT or 2000:
     C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\REGSVR32.EXE ACTSKIN4.OCX
   • If you have Windows 95, 98 or ME:
     C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\REGSVR32.EXE ACTSKIN4.OCX
   • If you have Windows XP:
     C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\REGSVR32.EXE ACTSKIN4.OCX
3. Press OK (or Enter).
4. A message saying that the file was successfully registered should appear.
