I'm Having Trouble With ZSNES

[someidiot]

Well yesterday I scanned the computer with Spybot-Seach and Destroy. Is Adaware-SE any better?

Hmm, I'm thinking Avast! might be interfering although it didn't in Windows 2000. Is there anything special about the engines SNES9X and ZSNES use? Of course I would prefer to use ZSNES because it seems to run a little better and I like the HQ4X texture mode.

At first, it started crashing around 1-2 minutes into the game, and then as the problem persisted, it would crash within 1-4 seconds. I would see the loading screen and the intro, and then it would stall, the sound would crash and everything. And right now, it crashes about 2-5 minutes into the game, but I've discovered that if I press escape a couple times, the game continues for a few more seconds, and then it stalls again. I highly doubt it's my system because it's pretty powerful and I have slower computers here running it at the same settings with no problem.

Running it in safe mode is a good idea, I'll try that, thanks.

I've had good success with Adaware-SE, but I dunno if it is any better persay.

Just let me know how the safe mode deal comes out, and I'll see what comes from there.

I'm still thinking it's a driver or device problem.

I just ran it in safe mode, and it worked. Also, I noticed that when I ran it in safe mode, the sound and my USB Logitech Dual Action controller was disabled. I replaced the joystick drivers, and the problem still came up in normal XP mode. So I'm guessing it is probably the sound drivers.

Ok I just looked and apparently they posted some new sound drivers 3 days ago. I'll install them and see if ZSNES works.

EDIT: Well it went on longer when I replaced the sound driver, but it's still stalling. Hmm... what else could be interfering?
