Hi.

I'm a new citizen, and I can't seem to set a valid privilege password.
I went to the Options|Citizen menu and set in the right textbox, but I
cannot seem to log in a bot with my cit number and priv passwd. (reason
code = 43)

Also, in ActiveWorlds, I've asked other folks to try to acquire my
privileges, and they get an invalid password error message.

Anyone else having this problem? Does it just take a while for AW to
update all their records? I just registered today.

TIA

Just the basic GreeterBot from the bot Help examples. I get the error 43 on
aw_login(), which is called before specifying the world to log into.

Also, other citizen avatars in activeworlds said they could not acquire my
privileges in the normal way, i.e., entering my name and ppw from the login
menu.

I know the difference.

Someone told me I should be able to test my privilege password in ActiveWorlds
by attempting to acquire my own privileges via the Login|Privileges menu. I
tried this, but it just blocked on the dialog box, waiting to look up my id.
After several minutes, a gave up.

Can anyone else access their own id/ppw this way?

Good advice. However, it's the same advice I gave myself before deciding to try
posting here. Thanks for responding, though.

Oh well, today's the next day, so I'll try waiting a day from yesterday now.

I emailed support yesterday and today my ppw works. I am wary of post hoc
fallacy. Yet I'm happy with the results.

I'm using Windows ME. My system displays a colored bar near the bottom
of the screen, full width of the screen, that briefly shows the current
volume level whenever I adjust the software volume control. It then
disappears.

I just downloaded AW 3.2 yesterday, and whenever I move, the volume bar
appears, obscuring the dialog window. Is there a way to turn it off?
I've searched and cannot find a way to control it.

Thanks in advance.
