    Re: Frequently asked questions..answered here!

    My apologies in advance if this is in the wrong thread...

    I'm having trouble down loading some FFR songs. Some load with no problems, others reach 60-70-even 90% and simply stop loading. I am on dialup, use AOL as my browser and am running Vista.. which I realize is probably the triple whammy of death and I should be grateful any songs load at all... but it's so frustrating to sit here for 5 minutes watching a song slowly load only to have it freeze up as it nears completion.

    I've deleted temp files, emptied my cache, emptied AOL graphic files and attempted to re-download songs. Sometimes that works, other times songs I was able to prevously download won't load when I attempt them again. (Lost "Let it Snow" due to this which was one of my favourites, REALLY ticked me off!).

    Any suggestions you could offer would be truly appreciated. (Short of dumping the "triple-whammy of death, afraid I'm stuck with all 3).

    Thanks!

        I already tried clearing my cache, it didn't help. And since I'm on dialup I'm stuck with using AOL's browswer or internet explorer, and I can't get the game to load at all with IE.

        Any other suggestions?

          Ctrl+Alt+Delete
          Task manager should pop up
          Click the 2nd tab 'processes'
          Type in the letters iex (iexplore.exe should be highlighted. If you're running firefox or something, find the correct process.)
          Right click the highlighted text
          Find 'Set Priority'
          Click 'High'

          See if that works. (Don't worry, it doesn't mess with the innards of your computer... it goes back to default when you close the internet.)

            Rushy, thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work. I understood exaclty what you meant and was able to change my settings with no problems, but the game stalled out at 55% on the download. Guess I'll just give up and be happy with the songs I am able to download.

                  It's probably your computer...

                  Feel several different pains, before they're colored pure red
                  Make a little chance! Start connecting us into to tomorrow, ready and go!
                  No matter how many times I keep going down, in these unending rounds
                  I'm gonna keep up! We can create hope, it's our story!

                          @yello: AOL Browser + Dial-Up + Vista...

                          The worst browser with the worst connection with an operating system that makes FFR lag. It probably tries to download, but it is too much for your connection and times out. Once your song fails to load, disconnect your internet and try the same song. If that does not work then I might have another sugesstion.
