Title: Unknown Error
Post by: KC on October 25, 2003, 06:33:42 PM

I have just received an update (version 4.1.289) and now when I try to run Avast! Home, I get a message that says "Application cannot load skin.  Function "usiGetSkin" failed.  When I press "Ok" Avast! closes and does not allow me to scan.  What's up? ???

Hi KC :)

Try this, click start/then run & type in this regsvr32 actskin4.ocx (U might have to browse to the file in windows\system dir

This will reregister the Avast skin file & U should be able to run it :)

BaNzI ;D

Maybe if you download the skins again and double-click (execute/load) them the Registry will be corrected and updated. Link here (http://www.avast.com/i_kat_71.html).  ;)
