    Hey guys, I have the McAfee 8.5i Enterprise version and have been having problems. Basically, when I have the software services running for McAfee, when I boot up the computer, it will bluescreen. I have this problem narrowed down to having specific programs on my machine, specifically Ulead VideoEditor. What can I do to get McAfee to run alongside programs that it obviously doesn't like? Have any of you guys had problems with McAfee and programs with windows vista?

    So far no. I'm using 8.5i on Vista Business x86 and I used to use 8.5i on Vista RC1 x64. Both ran fine. Have you tried turning off Access Protection in the VirusScan Console?

    Access protection seems to have been disabled since installation (it was disabled when I opened the console).

    EDIT: It will run fine, it is just when I open certain applications, namely so far, Ulead Video Editor and Microsoft Office Pro 2003.
