[Why Syzygy]

Cloud, and it will be my next trial. With Comodo, my Game installed just fine. It has a nice feature to allow installs without corrupting the registry. However. The Game would not launch. The process started and immediately shut down. Playing that Game was my reward for all the effort spent setting up a new system. I thought it might be an IE8 conflict. But Comodo was the culprit. As soon as I uninstalled it, the Game ran normally. There may be a work around, but it wasn't readily apparent and I didn't have the patience to pursue.

Encouraging that you manage without JAVA and QT. I hope to do the same.

btw, I used the Windows firewall for awhile before deciding exactly what to install. AFAIK it works well.
