Microsoft C++ runtime error

Hi all, long time no post. I checked in because I'm suddenly getting that same error message, right after installing a McAfee upgrade. I sure hope I'll be able to keep using Xara! All suggestions appreciated.

I have had trouble with McAfee slowing down another one of my programs on another computer.

I think I will get rid of M and see what happens.

I uninstalled McAfee and "happy days are here again!"

Xtreme launched right up.

So, xara was working again, and I installed AVG antivirus and firewall.

Things were going ok until the firewall, I guess, discovered that xara was trying to connect to the internet. I clicked "allow" and then immediately after I had the "runtime error" again. Exactly as before. Xara will not work again.

I'm using a new duo core processor laptop from Dell.

Any suggestions?

Report bug to firewall vendor?

I still can't run Xara, after having re-installed it. It would be useful to know definitively that McAfee is causing this, then I can go after them. Given the wide usage of McAfee products, I would think that quite a few Xara users would be having a similar problem and that Xara would acknowledge this and provide some useful advice.
