Camtasia Install Freezes on Windows 7 How to Fix That

So I’m a teacher right? Right. So I make video tutorials for my students to help them and to be blunt, to not have to teach the same thing over 10 billion times. We upgraded our lab to Windows 7 which makes me happy because Microsoft finally got it right after the junkyness that was Vista. What’s messed up though is that they charged US for THEIR mistake. I mean Vista sucked and what do they do about it? They fix it and then charge us even more for that fix…. lame. Anyways back to video tutorials. So I made a bunch for night classes I teach and such and I’ve been using Camtasia which is pretty nice. So I went to install it and every time it freezes when there’s about 8 seconds left. It doesn’t say what it freezes on, just that it freezes which was no help at ALL. So I read in a ton of forums, didn’t find anything. I’m trying permissions, trying to install it off a downloaded file instead of the cd, trying compatibility mode and nothing is working. So finally I read in this forum that sometimes virus protection or spyware programs will block the install. The forum said there is a especially big problem with Spyware Doctor and of course what do I have on my computer? Yep, SPYWARE DOCTOR. Grrr.

So I disable it and poof, problem goes away and it installs perfectly. And that only took me around 3 hours to figure out yay…. ): I also disabled Avast and all my other security software installs so you may have to do that as well. So if any of you are having that same problem as me on Windows 7, I hope this helps. If so click one of my ads and comment (; haha. Be good people chau.
