Technical Issues

[Clay]

So... we're on HOLD for Diesel, right?

Who else is still down?

[Ryan]

I keep Window's firewall disables almost 24/7 now because of OOTP. That and I can't get into the FTP's for WLB and NCFA either when it's on.

Is this a danger to my computer? I have AVG protection.

The only time I disable it is to export/upload. I wouldn't leave it down any more than that though.

I use AVG as well, plus Comodo internest security, which has its own firewall, but I just don't feel comfortable leaving windows firewall down.

I really don't want to hold up the league, I know how desperate Clay is to have something go well in his life and this upcoming season in the Stout is wide open....

But! I have talked with BradZ and a co-worker about possible solutions. There are about four I am going to try tonight when I get home from work. Obviously, they might not work, but I will try and be ready for tomorrow. If I can't get it fixed by the weekend, after Andrew extends a few days, I'm not sure what to do... /sadface /facepalm

Plus, I have no excuses. I know Vista sucks and we were on break but I had a LONG time to get this figured out. I knew we were switching to 10. In hindsight I should have downloaded it then, and tried to get it installed. For that, I do apologize.

Now that is some funny shit!

Contrary to what I sent Andrew the other night, I'm still having trouble exporting/uploading without completely disabling windows firewall.

However, I haven't had time to try the stuff Andew posted in this thread for the FTP issues, so I'll try those when I get a chance.

[Matt]

Great news!

I'm pretty sure Gyro is still down and out with the Mac version.

He's up and running with the patch...

[Pat]

You are more optimistic then I.

[Lintyfresh85]

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Yeah I'm not sure how much I can help. Dumb question but have you rebooted since the issue started? Sometimes when a program crashes or doesn't open correctly there is still a process running and it won't let you open it.

With this issue, no question is dumb. And yes, I have rebooted several times.

I might try and get a copy of XP and use my computer as dual boot. It should run on XP without any issues...fucking Vista.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I never change what folders I am installing to.

And yes, I have been running as admin. That's not even an "issue" with people who have had Vista or Windows 7 for a week....you just learn to start doing that.

[Clay]

thanks for the help guys. i'm up and running again.

Woo hoo... 1 down!

I'm fine with moving on without Smear.

[Pat]

You're installing to the default folders, correct?

From what I understand the only thing special you need to do is right click the shortcut and run it as admin. I'm on XP though so don't know for sure.

So, who here is playing OOTP X on Vista?

If they wouldn't mind, I would love a walkthrough on installing.
