The problem started when the screensaver was fixed in build 211 & I started playing around with the settings. Before that I never bothered with the avast screensaver.
That's the file I was looking for, avast4.mdb, the one that holds the screensaver settings. I tried opening it but couldn't because it was in use so here's what I did. I disabled avast from starting up, rebooted, deleted avast4.mdb, renabled avast at start up & rebooted. Now I can get back into the avastss settings.
The problem was after choosing "Blank Screen" as the screensaver in avastss, clicking on Settings in the main screensaver window wouldn't do anything. I'd click on it & the mouse cursor would be active for a few seconds & then nothing would happen. I'm sure it's because "Blank Screen" doesn't have any settings. I hope there's a way to fix it so I can have "Blank Screen" as my screensaver in avastss & still be able to access the settings.
Thanks Roman.
