That's exactly what I said I personally witnessed on an user's system: the antivirus was still blocking files, even when it was disabled in its settings, and even when it excluded the whole folder from scanning. And, in addition to that, it blocked files without any warning: the only way to know it was blocking files, was to check the antivirus *log* (not even the quarantine, there weren't there either).

That's why, if the sim starts on the first run, and it quits on the 2nd one, it can only mean one thing:

- the antivirus didn't block the file on the first run, but it blocked or changed it (trying to "heal" it from a non existing virus), and this will result in precisely the sim quitting on start with no errors on the next startup.

Switch to a more reliable antivirus, one that didn't block files without any warnings, and that respected the exceptions.

Me again,

  I am going to follow up on your comment plus conduct further "experiments" of my own to attempt to resolve this issue. I notice some 158 folks have viewed this initial/thread post-so, there is considerable interest here!!

                              Respectfully,

                                   David R
