Golf Game will not work

[Alan Denton]

I'll not be cynical and say its because its a rival to
MS's own Links Golf but.......

I play About.Golf Chryserler World Tours Game (see this
website for the FREE game
http://info.friendlysoftware.com/caddy/scripts/worldtours/
main.php3?page=home)

before MSAS was installed it worked perfectly, (well
alright, it has its own bugs lmao), but since MSAS
install it will not run in either online or offline mode
UNLESS I first shutdown MSAS from the system tray icon

If MSAS is running, go through the game menus to launch a
round and at this point you get a black screen only, Task
Manager does not show a running application as it would
normally but only a process of "Golf Game.exe" which I
can then stop, close MSAS, relaunch the game and all
works I normal. I believe the game uses DirectX 6 for
screen draw but does not use DirectPlay as far am I am
aware.

Any help much appreciated

Alan - you've reported this in the correct group.

I can confirm your findings--I downloaded and installed the game and clicked
through to start a game--didn't need to input any data or anything, just
accepted defaults, and it displayed the game UI with Microsoft Antispyware
NOT running, and failed, with a black screen, with Microsoft Antispyware
running.

I'm afraid I don't have a workaround for you, but this report may help get
this issue corrected for a future release--thanks.

Thanks Bill, I suspected that would be the answer
Other than this issue, so far MSAS is a great product,
when I first installed it it found some spyware that had
been missed by adaware. Keep up the good work guys
