Resolving Windows Vista AddonChat Loading Issue


SYMPTOMS:

If, when loading the chat room, the blue loading bar appears for a very long time, and the chat room applet never comes up, the following may help you to immediately resolve the problem. This problem is also associated with very slow page loading using Firefox, and slow eMail sending/retrieval using Thunderbird.

The following solution applies to Windows Vista users only.


SOLUTION:

The Windows Vista TCP Stack has been re-written. The following solution appears to correct many internet-related issues with Windows Vista, and seems to resolve the problem. There should be no negative effects from performing the following; but we have provided you with instructions for undoing this should you feel it necessary.

Part I: Disable TCP Autotuning

1. Click the Start (Windows Logo) icon
2. Select 'All Programs'
3. Select 'Accessories'
4. Right-Click on 'Command Prompt'
5. Click 'Run as Administrator'
6. A dialog box will ask you to confirm. Click the 'Continue' button to proceed.
7. Type: netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled
8. Press 'Enter'
9. The message 'Ok.' should appear.
10. Type: exit


Part II: Empty your Java Cache

1. Visit http://www.addonchat.com/demo.html
2. The Java icon will appear in your task icon list in the lower-right hand corner of your screen
3. Right-click the Java (coffee-cup) icon and select 'Open Control Panel'
4. Under 'Temporary Internet Files', click 'Settings'
5. Click the 'Delete Files...' button
6. A window titled 'Delete Temporary Files' will appear. Make sure all options are checked and click 'OK'
7. Click 'OK' to exit the 'Temporary File Settings' window.
8. Click 'OK' to exit the Java Control Panel


Part III: Empty your browser's cache

1. Clear your browser's cache. Visit http://support.addoninteractive.com/...n=kb&article=2 for complete instructions.
2. Shut down all instances of your web browser.


That's all. You may now try to load the chat applet. If you have any questions regarding this procedure, please let us know.

This issue is likely to work itself out in the near future as future updates of Windows Vista and Java are released to the public -- once these updates have been released, your users will not be required to go through the above procedure.


HOW TO UN-DO THE ABOVE STEPS

If, for any reason at all, you need to undo the above procedure, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start (Windows Logo) icon
2. Select 'All Programs'
3. Select 'Accessories'
4. Right-Click on 'Command Prompt'
5. Click 'Run as Administrator'
6. A dialog box will ask you to confirm. Click the 'Continue' button to proceed.
7. Type: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
8. Press 'Enter'
9. The message 'Ok.' should appear.
10. Type: exit

Is that a pun I read there Richard or do you realy not know which may. lol.

[Ray Hale]

Ok everyone, just a big thank you to all of you who logged into the chat room last night to talk about the BTS Exhibition. It was fun . If you didnt manage to get on ( Richard Gallon et al.) and you have any questions about the show then post them up here and I will answer them.

Thanks again ( even you Tesco )


PS

One of our members is looking for a lift to the show. He lives in Tonbridge Wells so anyone coming up from the South East or Kent could give him a lift he would be willing to pay towards petrol. There must be someone who is making the trek.
let me know

I couldn't get on last night (windows 2000 advanced server having a mardy)

I have one question,
The show has a strict "no Handling" policy, i agree with this wholeheartedly for the members of the public who wish to view only.

For members who wish to purchase and "double check" on the sex of a T, or check the docileness of a particular species (and are serious about buying and not just out to mess around) would the option of an available "side room" be out of the question for such an activity.
