Active Worlds browser closes itself (Community)
Active Worlds browser closes itself // CommunityferruccioNov 29, 2004, 9:06pm
This problem has happened a few times throughout the year, and when it
happens, it happens frequently. This has only happened on the active worlds browser. I can only fix it by reinstalling AW. It's a real nuiscence at most. It just starts randomely happening one day, and gradually gets more frequent. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? tengelNov 30, 2004, 12:01am
Well add this to your aworld.ini
[debug] all=1 and when it does next time, copy that last 20 lines in aworld.log and send it to support at activeworlds.com -- Tengel www.3D-Nordic.com [View Quote] strike rapierNov 30, 2004, 9:26am
*wonders why a command is written in all caps as a constant / enum instead
of a lowercase method and is not included in aw.h* - MR [View Quote] johnfNov 30, 2004, 4:17pm

I mean like AW_BOOL(AW_AVATAR_CLOSE_BROWSER)
Set to true, send change settings - boom! John [View Quote] strike rapierNov 30, 2004, 8:25pm
AW_BOOL is not a function, neither is there any session targeting or calling
functions. Also, if an enum isnt in an enum, it aint accepted, the arguments for the aw functions are enums. - MR [View Quote] ferruccioDec 1, 2004, 6:42am
I have do not know anything about the AW SDK, so I have no idea if you are
just BSing me or not, John. Did you actually give a valid solution to the problem? If so, then I have no idea what you are talking about. johnfDec 1, 2004, 10:22am
How do you know? AW may have coded it for all you know. Protect the
conspiracy theories with your life! John [View Quote] johnfDec 1, 2004, 4:37pm

Would you please stop talking bull when someone actually asks for proper
help? Your unintelligent comments serve no purpose appear from making you look like an idiot. - MR [View Quote] johnfDec 2, 2004, 5:48am
If you think this is bs then you've never had sub 7 on your computer in
conjunction with AW :-) John [View Quote] themaskDec 2, 2004, 5:21pm
If it was subseven i'm sure the person controling his system would do
much more then just close AW. For all we could know, it can be even a video card issue, or the drivers, so xp just has to shut it off or something bad will occur. Other then that, you should probally stop being a dumbass on certain stuff, John. -- Signed, TheMask :: Owner of Delusional-Minds Hosting :: Free world hosting..

Atcually I had a serious problem when I had sub 7 on my PC.
It automatically closed AW every time I went in range of somebody... firewall was up though so nobody was connected. Until I managed to stop it starting this happened all the time. John [View Quote] themaskDec 2, 2004, 7:18pm
Maybe it wasn't really it that was closing it :P

Plus. Having a firewall doesn't make you fully protected.

How so?
And yes it was closing it. The moment I tracked it down and deleted it it stopped happening. John [View Quote] tony mDec 2, 2004, 8:30pm
If you have _only_ a firewall on the affected PC (or external gateway), without antivirus software, then the firewall doesn't stop you from downloading a virus and running it.

How So? Not all firewalls are always going to protect you. Maybe from
really-not-harmful stuff, but there's always a workaround to it. Example: The XP firewall that comes with Windows XP Service Pack 2 is useless; the virus can add itself to the exception list (in the registry!), kills firewall, restarts, then does whatever it does throught he port(s) it puts itself in the exception list. -- Signed, TheMask :: Owner of Delusional-Minds Hosting :: Free world hosting..

XP Firewall Sucks. And yes I'm aware that a firewall doesn't stop me
downloading and running viruses - does stop unauthorized people connecting to my pc. McAfee stops unwanted script activity :-) McAfee/Norton! Lol John [View Quote] the j0k3r ssDec 3, 2004, 11:16am
i will send you a file then to prove it doesnt , and omg , if you use
anti virus then at least dont use norton or mcafee lady nighthawkDec 3, 2004, 4:17pm
What would you recommend? I'm in the market for another AV since my NAV just
expired :o/ LNH -- [View Quote] the j0k3r ssDec 3, 2004, 4:20pm
www.kaspersky.com , dont ever use anything else , its the best , i am one of
the many AV spies for them , they have the biggest database , impossibler to bypass with public encryptors or packers , very hard to make trojans for example undetected against , impossible to close ( what many virusses do ) , and its not a resource hog as norton is , buy the personal edition , and its very much worth its money . i adviced many ppl in AW to switch to kaspersky and they are very happy . johnfDec 3, 2004, 7:14pm
Thats simple - uninstall all Norton software and re-install (not one by one,
as a whole) Should work ;-) John [View Quote] |
