The key connection was the P9 description and panthercules (fortunately) mentioning McAfee. I remember a user having a similar problem over a year ago (seems things haven't changed since then ;))! Unfortunately, short of disabling the firewall, I can't remember what changes the client can make in their firewall to get the two playing again (I use ZA as well). McAfee Firewall is just more sensitive I guess. Much like Avasti! virus scanner is more sensitive than pretty much any other too. |
@ JScones In thinking about it, it may be that ZA either recognizes the attempt for what it is or that it doesn't trigger an alarm until there is an actual communication attempt from outside the system. Or I may be giving it more credit for "intelligence" than it deserves :rotfl:
I may just see how hard it would be for the app to check to make sure that it is the only instance running and terminate if it is not. @panthercules I sent ya 2 PMs both with links to slightly different modifications of the app. The first one is with no digital signature and the second is with no single instance specification. Based JScones experience, I would say that the second has a better chance of working. |

I believe MacAfee has in the personal firewall
a setting to scan for programs that use the internet. Have him or anyone with that do a scan then give the programs a general use check mark that alwows internet use and it will not happen again until he installs something else.

Thanks
@leovampire and JScones
Thanks for the help, y'all. Whatever the resolution ends up being, I guess I need to add something to the install instructions in the readme (if it ever gets read:p ) to cover the situation. @The rest of the world If you had any difficulties installing/using the app and had to use some kind of workaround, please let me know what the difficulty was and the workaround for it so I can try to address the problems in the documentation to help folks in the future. |
Thanks for the help guys - I saw the PM from D_T before checking this thread - the second one (with JScones' suggestion) seems to have worked just fine (opened up the program without any error messages or McAfee alerts), so I didn't try the first one.

Any idea on why a sound file would be playing at 2x its speed? I got NBC station sounding like Chipmonks...and I didnt do any changes.
|
That sounds familiar
chopped50ford, that's one problem I don't think anyone has an answer to yet, unfortunately. I haven't experienced it yet, but many have and noone seems to be able to decipher where the problem is coming from. It's one of those :damn: things that there may never be an explanation for.

Thanks for the update, just seemed weird. :hmm: It just started happening...last career it was fine. :smug:

I ask because it would be much better IMHO to do that than have D_T ship a version that allows multiple instances, especially when the problem is seemingly limited to the .NET/McAfee combination, so a subset of overall users. Sorry if I'm outta line here D_T. |

Seriously, that is the best way to approach it, I believe. .NET is probably much better at checking for only a single instance than I am. If I wrote the code, it would probably look a lot like this: Code:

I tried using this to add some additional radio stations (from the CBS-KNX mod by fred8165), and it seemed to go very well, though I haven't had time to test it out in game yet. Thanks for all the help. |

Perhaps a better way to approach it would be to set the general setting back to "ask" and then when it triggers when you try to start the app, tell it that it is ok for this app to connect. Again, I have no experience with McAfee so I don't really know exactly how to describe the process. I do know that if that was a general setting, you don't want to leave it that way. It would open the door for all kinds of things that you don't want. |
