New install reverts to Inactive when I try to change

I'm trying Bi and I have 2 cameras connected. The connection went pretty smooth, but I can't get Bi to stay in the Active profile. I've tried overriding each camera's schedule, I've checked storage locations, I can even get it to record a nice 8 minute video from one camera while I have the Camera Settings window open! But as soon as I click 'OK' the recording stops, the screen goes to static, then when it comes back online, the icon in the upper left corner shows the red 0, Inactive.

Does Blue Iris hate me? I've been reading the documentation for the better part of the day. I've searched through it to find about schedules and the shield, it's green, play button green, but no positive results.
 
Well, I was able to go to from version 6.0.1.8 to 5.9.9.98 and it fixed the problem. Maybe it was a new version bug. For some reason 6 wouldn't let me upgrade to 6.0.1.11 either.
