1. I have three accounts on West. I can log into two of them and actually get to my 8 character screen/selection.
2. On the Occhidiangela accuont, however, I can log on, add my password, and get the screen to open, but all I get is "connecting . . ." and the characters never show up. This is tres weird.
3. I am also having no fun with frequent disconnects from Road Runner, but that is a different issue. However, for anyone with Win 98 Se smarts, what is going on here? My cable modem (on a SOHO 10/100 card) cannot and will not down load files. I can open web sites, but (and I think IE is to blame) sites that I could down load from (at a glacial pace) on dial up are now, a week later with no dial up, not able to down load anything to e at all. No files come down, everything just . . . locks up.
The dialogue box that shows you "bites, time, and time remaining" just stares at me, no growing blue strip of progress at all.
I go to Windows update, and the service pack I need from Microsloth gets to "I acctept your tyrannical EULA" and then . . . the 2.1 Megs to down load just . . . never shows up. Dialogue box just sorta . . . stands there.
I am at my wits end. I have uninstalled the modem, and the ISP software that went with it, but
I still can't down load.
Don't tell me to go to Mozilla, I can't down load that either.
What setting or option is screwing me up? I have been on to phone tech suport three times in the last three days: "Never heard of your problem" and I have gone through every stinking dialogue box in Windows to try to find what is blocking the data transfer.
Zone alarm, on, or off, no difference. Norton on or Off, no difference.
Gggggggggggah, this is irritating in the extreme.
But I can read web sites to my heart's content.
???????????????????????????????????????????
