Cannot play Wizard101 online.
Original title: Its always something with XP
I have Windows XP Home Edition. For a year I play Wizard101 online. Now, I can't. Mozilla Firefox works fine, but sometimes that happens with [incorrect filename] and [could not connect].
Then the site tries to solve the problems. Its links with a program on the site that returns Test OK. The file command to run another file.
If you get to the second page indicating the failure, he said [you have a firewall issue, or a framework of safety program keeping you connect].
I use NORTON and windows firewall (which Norton stops to do the work itself), and I'll be * ed if I can find the setting.
Can anyone help? My ISP says "well wizard10 must be destroyed." It is not, I can play on my wife's cell phone using wifi, and I used to play on this computer.
Thanks for reading this.
Walt
XP?
The operating system can work with 1 single firewall, try disabling norton, also, in
Control panel, firewall, tab exceptions, add or remove items that need / don't
you will have to go outside the firewall.

Cannot play games online.
When I try to connect to any game online the connection just times out. I'm not having problems with my connection and I did everything that I can think of to fix this. No matter what type of game I try to play, I have this same problem.
Noel2112,
Here are a few things I suggest that you try if you have not yet. First turn off clean boot your system and then test and see if you are able to play one of your games. Here are the instructions to perform a clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212/If this does not help then I suggest the System File Checker to verify that it is not a possible problem with the operating system running. Here is the information on CFS: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

I can listen to other stations, but not this one. Before about 2 weeks ago, I had no problem getting the live stream. Has been no change on my computer. URL is: http://www.wlpv1079online.com/Live%20Streaming%20Page.htm

OS Sierra: Cannot play audio via bluetooth are involved during airtime
Cannot play audio via bluetooth speakers during airtime to my TV.
Has been able to do before the OS Sierra update. Now if I switch to my bluetooth receiver in the system prefs-> sound-> menu "exit" it disconnects completely airplay. This happens both with mirroring and use as a separate display.
Is there something that I am missing on the behavior of this feature? Or is this a bug in the new OS?

After playing games online, I closed the safari window but I can barely see the walkthrough of word written in my office. I changed my desktop to a solid color, so I can see it better. I also see the Netflix pause button and if I reduce the window as I type right now I see Select a community to Post To my office. Is this a virus? If yes what should I do to fix it?
Thank you!
