Sfo - msn explorer - Problems

[TJ5]

Ok I finally got sfo working for me becuase I got a new computer and all. I downloaded the latest shockwave plug-in and now sfo loads up. Then I go to play, and well I select my character and then my opponent selects thier character then right before it goes to the fight screen a pop up comes and says "MSN Explorer has experienced a problem and needs to restart". I tested this out and every time I try to play, it does this stupid thing :( I just want to be able to play SFO like the old days. Help a vet out :)

[Nferno666]

use the download version...oe use ANOTHER browser since MSN Explorer sucks :biggrin:

[alamgir]

Just stick to good old IE.

[Dark_Paladin_X]

I prefer the download version since it has a less chance of not responding (like if IE does, it sometimes closes all IE windows).

Poeple have told me Firefox is good for SFO (though i highly doubt it.)

So that's what i suggest. :D

[(Shady_vip)^]

All though the SFO download is REALLY GREAT nice and fast less chance of glitches.
there is acouple things i dont like about it.
When u get kicked u cant refresh.
While your on SFO playing a game when someone IM's u or a new window pops ups then while im fighitng SFO minimizes (it messes up gameplay)
is there anyway to fix that?

Thats what i have, And still im having the same problem, FireFox just don't work i guess

I dont think you suppose to download the latest shockwave plug-in ...because i read somewhere here you have to have the old version of it...dont remember which version.... I think its 9.0..

[TJ5]

I tried it with IE, it kicked SFO off, I downloaded the game, microsoft kicked it off...... What is going on ? I even tried shockwave 8.5.

[Nferno666]

umm why error do you get using the download version...?

It happens man. Even on the new laptop i recently got..i still get it. my registry is good and all. So i believe it's normal.

[mastergrim8]

hey i just downloaded the new MSN Explorer (tested it out) even though it sux

[Vash]

I think these solutions might work:

1.Refreshing game by pressing F5
2.update your computer
3.Restarting your computer numerious times or once try
4.Contact Tmyapp :cheesy:
5.download the new msn explorer


Well thats all I can tell you :laugh:

[TJ5]

Everything is up to date right now with my computer. I made sure it was before I even started going on it for fun. So I dunno whats going on.... it works at school and thier computers suck..... :plain:

[Dark_Paladin_X]

lol. When worse comes to worse, school computers help :D

but ya, just try not using msn explorer. People CLAIM that firefox works (though i don't believe it). Why don't u just plainly use IE

[™Ðéšólá†íóñ™]

:dontgetit: What I hate about the download virsion is when you put it on full screen it's still small with grey around it :confused: also do any one have the download vision of teh first sfo? because I really want it :(

[TJ5]

I already previously said IE didn't work, Download version didn't work and MSN explorer didn't work.... + you can't get on the chat at some schools so you can only play sfo story mode.

Desolation, also if you want to ask about the download version of the 1st sfo make a topic about it, because I really want help with this problem I have and when I come in and see posts not even on the topic it bugs me -_-'.......

how do you know SP2 is even installed? check system properties and see if it says SP2 in the general tab...

[TremulantX]

Yea u need check if it installed, then what u must do is click on windows firewall @ the bottom of the control panel, im sure u know how to get to the control panel, when ur there click on the exceptions tag and make sure SFO is checked, then click on advanced and next to your connection under NETWORK CONNECTION SETTINGS, then make sure everything under the Services tab is checked, then click the ICMP tab and check all of those boxes, and then try it again.... if it still doesnt work then click on tools, internet options, clear history, delete cookies, delete files, then go to advanced and click restore defaults, then restart ur comp if youWANT then try it again, after that....... i have no idea but just try it i guess..... :eh:

[rapp122000]

what you need to do is go on www.aol.com and go to beta aol products .when u get there u will see that aol has its own explorer so u should just download aol explorer and let it do its magic.NOTE DONT I MEAN DONT GET THE Regular AOL BEACUSE U WILL HAVE TO DOWNLOAD A LOT of THINGS AND WILL HAVE TO PAY A MONTLY FEE so just get the free aol explorer and enjoy your game play

[TJ5]

Rapper, read some of the posts in the topic please..... It's not the explorer anymore, it is my computer or something.. TremulantX thx, I will try this. It even stops me from playing story mode, right after I select my character the message pops up. Wierdness.....

fire fox is actully good fro sfo but i run into one problem
the screen is small and when u maximie it just sill the area around the screen wiht black so yea i guess ur right >.>

[TMyApp]

the error you are getting is definitely the msn browser crashing

... if reinstalling shockwave, trying IE (or another browser) or using the downloadable version did not help, then there is probably an issue/conflict with your windows

[Vash]

Do you have mac, linux, or window's?

[TJ5]

Windows, Tmy is there anyway you could come up with a solution based on all the given things I have said about the problem ? :(
