Pls give a solution. [ODBC-related crashes on Win9x]

[maestro649]

I am a registered user of Avast 4.6.623. My operating system is Windows 98. Also i used to update avast files. But when i start scanning (whether it's a folder or disk) i get the error as specified below. Sometimes at the starting of the scan or in the middle or sometimes even quckly after the scan. Why is it so? Please help. Is there because of the program trouble. Do i need to reinstall?

Hi, please check out e.g. this thread: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=4464.msg32104#msg32104

BTW this has been discussed many times on the forum, you can use the Search feature and look for something like "1b10ec7d" if you need more info...

Thanks
