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

Current Races:

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031

Regata dell’Accademia Navale 2026

Welcome to Sailonline’s partnership with the City of Livorno (Leghorn say the English) in cooperation with the local yacht clubs and the Italian Navy, offering all the online opportunity to race the famous Regata dell’Accademia Navale - 630nm in length. Starting and finishing in Livorno, this year the race takes you the length and breadth of the Tyrrhenian Sea via little Mortorio (Mortoriotto) off Sardinia to Capri and home again to Livorno. This race also counts towards Sailonline’s Magical Mediterranean Series and the SuperBuddy title. Online, you will be sailing a Mini 6.50, to give you a match against several of the real-life entrants, which you will be able to track on-screen!

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!

Welcome to yet another all-new route. This next race is part of our Ocean Championship as well as the ROW series. Falklands to Tasmania, is like last year's island to island.
