Yes, it does start and behave normally. Using XP Professional Service Pack 1 (and none of the updates following Service Pack1).
I would like to add that the above error message box closes down by itself after 4-5 seconds without any input (but it does have the typical "OK" and "Cancel" buttons).
All providers seem to operate normally, and the logfiles do not give much to think about... problems registered:
1. Emergency, alert, critical and info logs are empty.
2. Error log has one entry:
19.06.2003 09:19:38 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM 1416 ODBC function SQLConnect() failed. Error description: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not find file '(unknown)'..
3. Warning log:

So far, I had not any problem with ODBC objects in any other application.
Avast! 4 pro was running in parallel with Kerio Personal Firewall 4 beta 4, which was a mess of a program- so I uninstalled it, cleaned every trace of it and tried the fast scan thing again, with the same results. Recently I upgraded to Kerio 4 beta 5 (which at last does seem to work... somehow) but needless to say the Avast problem is still there.
Thank you for your input... I'm not a newbie computer user, but the problem is quite puzzling and beyond my knowledge level... I could attempt a fresh Avast installation, but I'd rather prefer finding out the root of the problem- you too, I guess.
