By chance do you also have MS Security Essentials installed?
Zone Labs has been blaming every other developer for their product not
working.

Not while I was using ZoneAlarm. Win7 does come with Windows Defender of
course but I had it turned off. Didn't even have Adaware or Spybot on the
system yet, either.
I think it was something about the Win7-compatible version that they
changed. It did take them quite a while to come out with a version that
would even run on Win7 64-bit.
For one thing, it was interfering with Windows' System Restore...I could
only run it from safe mode. And for some reason it was a nightmare to
install on my mom's eMachines, even though I had de-Nortonized it
thoroughly.
Anyway, I happened to mention it to the guys at ADK when I ordered my
laptop, and they said there's a few AVs that tech support strongly advises
against, and that's one of them. I asked them why and they said it
interferes with networking, among other things. I hadn't been networking my
machines since my old laptop started to go south, but I do seem to recall
that transfer was a lot slower than it ought to have been...so I decided to
give MSSE a try. Fortunately I always make an image with my music programs
installed before any AV.

One thing that I wonder if anyone
disagrees with - the best video
editing software is Final Cut, at
least on the Mac.
