Attachment No. 1 shows where the problem was after I clicked the ICON on my desktop. By the way, this pix is not the original interface.
Attachment No. 2 shows the instructions on how to stop the SKINS from working.
Attachment No. 3 shows the other Interface.
Every time I would click on the ICON on the desktop, the pix in Attachment No. 1 would open. If you look down at the bottom of that interface, you'll see "Test of Memory startup", it's trying to find a different SKIN. If I let that process go and not stop it, I would get an Error message after downloading these SKINS, I don't know why this would happen, but it would, just came from nowhere.
So after going thru this Test Memory Skins thing, another box would come up with several SKINS that I could click on to change the interface. Every time I would try to do this, the Face would never change and a message box would tell me ERROR again. Seems to me that Avast is corrupt too.
So what I had to do was contact Tech Support to see why this was happening and stop it. The instructions they gave me was, UNCHECK the skins under Tools, I did, but it didn't put the original interface back.
As you can see rshaffer in Attachment No. 2, the instructions, I can't get the original back because Skins was unchecked. And that means that there are certain things I can't do any longer, if you keep reading, it will say that.
As soon as we up the Memory in my PC, I'm going back to AVG, because I won't have to go thru this.
I'm grateful to have this PC, but it seems there is always something happening here.
I hope that this is not too confusing, I tried to explain it as it happened.

I just wonder if some of the problem is that you have corruption in the Avast program.
I installed avast on my other computer (even though I hate it) so I could look at what you are showing in the pictures.
The 1st picture is the 1st part that comes up. It is not testing the skins, but testing for virus's in memory.
When it finishes, it should not error out, but open up the default skin (unless you have changed it. The default is a grey looking radio type interface. I can't explain it any other way.
There are only 2 skins available unless you download more. I tried the other skin and it does not look anything like what you showed in the 3rd picture.
I went to the skin download location and there was nothing there that looked even close to what you showed.
The trick to downloading new skins is to "Open" the skin you choose. It will put the new skin in your choices of skins which is in the menu area. The program changes to the new skin immediately.

No I did not. I should have been a little more clear, but I had 1 foot out the door. If avast is not out of the system or is messing up, it can be the problem.simplee55

Are you getting low VM again? Id you are getting this message then once the new memory is installed we will go back to the VM settings and change it to adjust automatically. This will then fix the error message. Being the lack of memory as i said the fix we did was only temporary.
Sorry I haven't been around much but still fighting this.

rshaffer61 is not feeling WELL. Hasn't really been on since Monday. He peeked in and out a couple of times to help me with that Avast issue, and I communicated with him some, but really hasn't been on at all the last couple of days.
I wondered where YOU were and thought, "was it something I said", it probably was. But I know everyone is busy and I'm learning to be PATIENT ....
Oh, and welcome back. I feel much better that your here.

I installed avast on my other computer (even though I hate it) so I could look at what you are showing in the pictures.
I hate Avast also, in fact, I told rsahffer that as-soon-as we UP the Memory in this system, I'm going back to AVG9.
I truly believe that some of the problems I'm having are caused by Avast. Of course not saying all the problems, but these minor little annoying problems, I think Avast has something to do with it. I watch that little ball/globe in action and it appears that it slows things up some, don't know. rshaffer swears by it ...
As I mentioned to rshaffer, the Memory will be delivered sometimes tomorrow and he's not feeling well, what do you think, will you help me input the Memory chip or should I wait for rshaffer to get back up and running tomorrow, and both of you can help me.
I just received your PM. Thank you so much for being here with me. I truly understand about the weather back East, it's been cold as I don't know what here. For the SNOW levels to drop down 1,500 ft which is where I live, (which is on the other side of Pasadena, CA), so low here in the BASIN, Downtown Los Angeles. December 2008 and now 2009 was the first time I EVER saw snow on this mountain right next to where I live, and I've lived in this building for 14-yrs. In fact I believe, because the weather is changing so drastically, Los Angeles will soon have to invest in Snow Mobiles, no joke.

The little globe turning means that the program is working and yes it does slow things down somewhat.. but especially because of the amount of memory you have it will stop everything while it works.

Good to hear from ya!!! I knew you were still here among us ....
Yes, I know Avast slowed me down a little, and yes it does bring everything to a halt.
Question: Whose gonna help with installing the Memory ???
If your not feeling up to it, I can wait. I've waited this long and it's NO rush at this point.
Feel better ...
