Title: Avast 4 Home edition for Windows XP 64bit version
Post by: bcfindings on March 25, 2008, 03:04:05 PM

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 solve this issue with the operational system.


Thank you for your  help

The file may not be registered.

If you have Windows x64:
"C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\REGSVR32.EXE" ACTSKIN4.OCX
Press OK (or Enter).
A message saying that the file was successfully registered should appear...
