Check the taskmanager. It will tell you.

Are you talking about Webshots?
If yes, you can set (configure) the colletions folder to a shared folder where you and your wife have full access.
This way, you can download only once and both users could share the photos.
Otherwise, you will hove yours and she will need to download new ones only for her.

i deleted pc alert 4 becuz my wife kept getting a no hardware monitor alert. should i reload it to someplace else beside desktop so it doesnt keep happening? i know i sound dumb but she keeps complaining

[bob3160]

You should stop it from loading when windows starts.

[mark261960]

how do i do that please

[bob3160]

Check your startup folder and see if a link to the program is in there. if it is just remove it.
You can also run msconfig and disable it from there. If that's to confusing, just un-install the program.

Hello all! "new and confused" yes, I am that!  I've download and installed avast, and as best I can tell everything works OK. But, I'm having trouble with the skins. There are a couple I would like to use (to have a little variety) but I keep getting an error message.

"A sharing violation occurred while accessing C:\Documents and Settings\Cheri\ Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\OH6I59BD\fm_tuner[1].aswcs."

What the heck have I done wrong? I know this has a simple solution. I just can't seem to figure it out.

Could someone give me some pointers about fixing this??

Thanks

Hi and welcome,
It sounds like you have tried loading your new skin from a temp file .
When you choose a new one and download it you place it as per C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\Skin.
that way the program knows where to find it
good luck

Just to let you all know. I tried the above suggestion but for some reason Internet Explorer kept hijacking the download to my temp files. Soo...... I switched to Mozilla Firefox and successfully downloaded the skins I wanted. I'm a happy camper now!!!
