easytarget Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 i use NAV so i'm not that familiar with mcafee does it give you anything in the way of error messages when the game fails to run? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bidermann Posted September 7, 2003 Author Share Posted September 7, 2003 no, with the anti virus turned on the disk will just spin in the drive and nothing else 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDork Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I too run McAfee and have had similar problems. But only with the install. I have to turn off the AV software to load the game but afterwards I can play it just fine. If your daughter's computer is running Norton you just might want to switch AV software. That or turn off McAfee while you play and turn it back on once you are done. Another option would be to contact McAfee but I doubt they could do much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
