Windows Vista
 

I got a new computer on Sunday and have not been able to log on since then. I always get a shockwave error. I was wondering if it had something to do with Windows Vista. Is anyone else using this operating system?

Have you tried reinstalling Shockwave?

Yeah, did you make sure you reinstalled Adobe Shockwave (or have the latest version downloaded)? It's very important that you get the latest. My only experience with Vista was a bit of a test drive at Office Depot, so I may not be much of help to you.

My copy of Vista hasn't arrived yet, but I agree that making sure everything is up to date, your browser and everything, would be the first thing to try.

I downloaded both the latest version of shockwave and flash players. I still get a server error. Thanks for the suggestions. I will keep trying to log on.

Poo. Have you tried multiple browsers?

I'm running Vista now and it's fine with me. Maybe try re-installing Shockwave like they said above. If you have anymore problems pm me.

Thanks for letting me know that it does work with Vista. I will try again later on today.

I have reinstalled shockwave, I have turned off my anti-virus software, I have tried Internet Explorer and Netscape, and I still get between 65 & 75% loaded and I get a trouble communicating with the server error everytime. I am giving up for the time being before I tear all my hair out. Thanks to everyone for your help.

did you try deleting the game cache?
I mentioned this last month in the following thread: http://www.fosters-home.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1491

About a year ago, I continuously tried to play the game, but I had the same problem. I tried again a few days ago just the heck of it, and it let me.

The game was really buggy between June and August. It was, for the most part, back in September that it became less buggy. but Some of the updates still caused crashing and other issues.

After two weeks, I can finally log on again. I did upgrade the speed of my DSL line slightly, so maybe that made the difference. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
