MSI 6167 compatibility

I have a system with MSI 6167 motherboard and Althon 600 processor. There is no way to install McAfee VirusScan 98 v4.0.2 as well as v4.0.3(4023). I tried with BIOS v1.5 and 1.6. Any explanation?

I believe I ran McAfee without a problem when I tested the board, but it was an older version. Exactly what is happening/not happening when you try to run/install it? Is Windows 98 stopping at the splash (start) screen? Larry

Thanks for your quick responce. After Win.98 gets restarted, I can load it in Safe Mode only, otherwise it simply hangs at the splash screen when it appears second time.
I tried that installation with BIOS v1.4 and 1.5. ATI Rage 128 video card was in VGA mode (same result in high resolution mode).
I didn't check Virus protection in the BIOS, but default it should be disabled, or should give me a bazz. Trend PC-cillin OEM Ver 4.07 gets installed without problem.

OK, I've seen that problem. You have to edit your autoexec.bat file to run McAfee bootscan.exe instead of scan.exe. With Windows 98, scan.exe takes-up too much memory and locks-up Windows. For details go to http://naisupport.sento.com/main.asp?docName=VSInstallFAQ and click: What do I do if I Install VirusScan and my PC locks up?"

Thanks, I'll try that, but it's strange - that MSI-6167 motherboard has 130 Meg of RAM. There where no such problem with Intel motherboard and 32 Meg of RAM. Any explanation?

I presume the problem is in the first 640K of memory. I don't know why they can't load scan.exe high, but I would guess it has to do with the fact that the program checks memory for viruses and also loads its virus data base into memory. Larry
