Friend with problem, need help please... // Communitylady nighthawkJun 24, 2006, 6:40pm
My friend can't click activate signs in my world, when he does ... nothing
happens. They are linked to web or media, and they work fine for me and everyone else ... but nothing happens for him. Any ideas as to why? I even had him reinstall aw but to no avail. He even crashes when clicking signs .... very very odd. LNH baroJun 24, 2006, 7:08pm
Sounds like he needs to fiddle with the web options in settings.
Perhaps he's got ie so screwed full of spyware and junk like ie tends to get, it's not opening correctly. And it's often heavily tied to media player too, which might be screwing up the media openings? I don't know... just a guess. have him try setting it to use his external browser, or to download a different browser and use that and see if it still is broken. Do activates for non-web stuff work? Like an activate sound or a door? sweetsJun 24, 2006, 7:45pm
Options...Settings....Downloads Tab....make sure Disable media url at bottom

When he tries to click on video links winamp tries to open, seems he's got
things all messed up :o/ LNH [View Quote] sweetsJun 26, 2006, 12:04am
ahhh winamp tends to take over....he has to switch his default player back
to windows media....I think in winamp it has a place that says file extensions or what files it accepts......uncheck them all.... I think heh sweets rossyfox oJun 29, 2006, 3:14pm
I have Winamp set as my default media player but media commands still
work fine for me in AW. It's actually a very well behaved peice of software. I wasn't aware it could take over WMP functions. [View Quote] |
