2011-06-08 19:13:00 - Vista Problem ?
Hi @all

Problem: sailonline.org: website stopps while beeing loaded.
Neither in firefox or in IE7 i can open completly
Mozilla shows 'waiting for connect.facebook.net...' in status-line.

Also other websites have the same problem while most load correctly.

I think, it is a windows setting or browser-setting.
Tried already to check everything.
I have no idea.

I'm using
vista srvpack 2
mozilla firefox 4.01


Kind regards
Achim

Hi Achim - the only suggestion I can offer is to empty your browser cache and then to check that you have the latest version of Flash loaded.

To do this you can either right-click on the game screen (if the frame appears) or if you can't see that at all, then go to:

http://www.adobe.com/ap/products/flashplayer

and click on the download. The Adobe site will tell you if your version of Flash is up to date.

I have brought your post to the attention of the SOL Gods in the Engine Room so maybe they, who are way more techie than me, can help or, perhaps, even another SOLer will help!

Good luck!

Hello Achim,

You aleady noted it in your post, something must be wrong with your computer settings. While loading a Sol page there is no need to wait for a server over at facebook.

Clean up the cache of the browser, check the default page the browser loads at start and have a look if there are any proxy settings incorrect. Cleaning the history might help too.

I suspect IE is having no issues loading the pages, have a look.

Let us know if you got it and what it was.

Jeroen

Hi Folks,
i got it!!!

Tried everything the whole day long...
disabled spybot, firewall, all what was possible to disabel, hacked the registry,...
->same error

downgraded Mozilla to 3.17
->same error

With the nerves at the end
i looked for Windows-Updates and installed 3 optional Updates for my NVIDIA Hardware (grafic-card, Network-adapter)
->everythng works fine ;-)

I suggest it was a problem of the network driver during communication with the DSL-Modem.
That's real computer-live. How stupid.

The cause of all this trouble was that i had to reinstall completly the pc with the original software-release as of the date when i bought (3years ago) it.

Please forgive my long story ;-)
Now i can go to sail IMSYS 2011...


Kind regards
Achim

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
