Clash between anti-virus and game?
I have installed Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator, and use the MS Force feedback joystick (fab!).
At the same time as setting up the above, I installed McAfee anti-virus V6.0. When I am in the game, the screen freezes momentarily, and the sound goesa ll jerky. Could there be a clash between the two softwares I have installed? CAn the anti virus interfere with the game? I run AMD 900 with 512 RAM and 19gb HDD. The video driver is a Savage S4 32 bit. Many thanks. Tim Bristol, UK.

My experiance is that McAfee anti-virus will cause a lot of problems with a lot of things. I personally will not touch one of their products. For an AV Norton is still the best.

Uninstal McAfee?
So I guess it's obvious to uninstall the AV and run the game? Don't answer that!.
Thanks for your opinions, anyway. Tim |

No need to uninstall. If you just close the program it should not interfere with gameplay. I had this problem with my USB zip and Virus Shield. It would lock up computer entirely. Now, whenever I want to plug in my zip I just disable system scan and no problems yet.

Result!
THAT is a result!
Yes, just right clicking and exiting the AV and the game is smooth as silk! I love the aerobatics and the graphics are great! No more stuttering aroubd the sky! Thanks for the help, guys - it is appreciated. I'll pass on what I learn if asked. Cheers from England. Tim Bristol UK
