Can't stay in the auction room

[Pepsidoodle]

I was planning to pop in and out of the auction today (its such a luxury to be able to do this on a weekday :smile: ) but I find that rocks auction site freezes & crashes my internet.

I thought it was chat, but even having that off doesn't help, nor does the usual tricks. I'm glad the system issues have been sorted out for peeps, but it seems that it is just too modern for my set up
& I suppose this could be my punishment for staying away too long :lol:

awww sorry to hear that Pepsi. hope you sort whatever is causing the problem.

 

[Pepsidoodle]

awwwwwwww thank you

its a new operating system I think
or a new puter
I'm taking the machine to a puter place on my week orf....I just hope the solution is cheep!!

Have you tried installing a new version of the flash player P'Doodle. I had endless trouble like you, but no probs. having upgraded the flash player.

:doggie:

 

[Pepsidoodle]

Ahhh thanks Mad4

I was unsure if I had the most up-to date version for my operating system so I went to their website.
I think I've downloaded & installed something too superior for my pc (& this is after selecting the correct operating system from their options!!) as its now gone splat & won't work at all - the banner at on this site is also not showing now

 

[Pepsidoodle]

phew this site is back to normal
but I still have the same problems with rocks

Thanks again for the suggestion - I'll try anything thats free to sort this out!!!

Try uninstalling the flash player and then installing it again. Some people had problems when upgrading it but they were resolved by doing this, hope it helps.

Thanks Cleo

I've given it a try but still stuck
I can only have flash 9 - I'm guessing the rocks needs the new flash10
or its my poor old abacus style windows98!!!

 

[Sammi]

ah windows 98....

 

[Pepsidoodle]

ah windows 98....

yeah - I know....that's why I think its gonna be expensive

 

[Sazza]

Pepsi, I don't think Windows 98 is the problem. My mum watches Rocks using a PC that has Windows 98 on it and it works fine.

 

[Pepsidoodle]

Thanks Sazza

but now I'm confused (its not hard!!!) I wish there was some online support available like I have at work (y'know the people that can take remote access of your machine & sort it all out!!!)

Hi Pepsi,

There's a computer that can do this remote thingy for you, whose details were given to me by AOL when I got my lappie from them. I've never used them so can't speak for them but assume they are at least bona fide. The link is http://www.geeksquad.co.uk/

Hope this is helpful for you.

As I said before Windows 98 doesn't mean you can't get Rocks to work.....my mum uses a PC with 98 and gets Rocks fine.
