bug on Amiga SWOS startup screen.....

[parkinpants]

Hi,

The Amiga SWOS program works fine on 1 computer in my house, but not the other.   When I click "Play Amiga SWOS" on the small "Amiga SWOS startup window" the application just vanishes, regardless as to what settings are set. 

Oddly enough, If I open up the SWOS application located on my other PC (via a shortcut to a different PC on the network) it works fine..... but not ideal doing it this way. of course

Any ideas?

Re-installing it doesn't work. Using XP.

Do not install it to C:\program files
That should be it.

Nope.

The problem is that McCaffee virus protection (BT) detects SWOSUAE.dll as a trojan virus.  It automatically deletes it and, amazingly, there is no option within McCaffee to override the automatic deletion in order to "trust" or "permit" the suspected file.  I can "restore" it from quarantine but then it gets deleted automatically. So I have identified the problem but I have no solution..... too risky to play with virus protection disabled.

This explains why it runs via the other PC, because the PC I am using only scans the local PC rather than other networked PCs.

Solution: Use another virus program. Antivir for example. It's free and works fine.

Also Avast! antivirus is online-SWOS-friendly

to my knowledge, Kaspersky works too.
