Internet backgammon is a mess

I tried all the suggestions to resolve the 0.80041006 error code.  He always reports that a network error has occurred.  I think the problem is at Microsoft.   It is intermittent.   Does anyone know of a good backgammon program?

It could be the network servers.  Your connection is perhaps slow.  If so, they may be back soon.

    Cannot play Internet Backgammon, checkers, or stings in Windows 7... receive the error Code: 0 x 80041006.  Have you tried the clean boot, memory test, disable start upward, turn off norton... I tried everything the moderaters have suggested always can not play.  Also ran sfc/scannow, as suggested.  Any control very well.  Can play other internet games... such as Big Fish games.

  • MS Internet Backgammon cheats

    I have a master's degree in statistics (so I have a minimum of awareness concerning the probabilities by rolling a pair of dice) and played competitive Backgammon since 1975. There is no doubt that complaints under the headings such as "internet backgammon cheats" are specific comments. I said there are also sites where a player can go to download cheat programs. When we are well ahead in a game and a double would be intelligently refused, but is accepted by the opponent and that player then communicates "good luck" and subsequently rolling 5 or 6 double rooms in a line, something is wrong. I also noticed, after reading complaints contributed, a player can, and don't, pips move more than the number rolled on the dice. Several times, but not always, you see an indication of a cheat when the cat has been turned off. They are so ignorant that they believe that if they can see your message 'not yet' or 'it's your turn"that he is not sent. Whatever, it isCERTAINLY a GREAT NUMBER OF CHEATERS. A 'normal' game of backgammon has simply not 5 to 10 double rooms, rolled by the same player. This means no never happens, but not with the regularity, he lives in MS Internet Backgammon. It has been a pleasure for me to spend a few moments of free time to play. Now, it's just aggrivating and not interesting dealing with opponents who know they can't compete without cheating. Why not add a level of players to the current 'Expert', 'Intermediate' and 'beginner '...  "Dummies" for cheaters have a chance to win legitimately? I don't know what the so-called "cheat codes" do or how they work. Microsoft loses much of it's technical edge, they cannot find a "solution". What every time that a player running a correction (cheat) code, it gets moved out of the site with a note "you have been dismantled as a cheater. Too easy?

    I agree, it seems that there are people cheating.  That's why I looked at "Cheating on possible internet backgammon."

    On the other hand, I'm not one of the most intelligent (I play because I can't sleep) and I could not understand how to cheat if I tried, but I always got the rollers that make it impossible for the other player have a fair chance.  It of a shame too because I like a good game to the end, win or lose.  Looks like an enigma. I wonder how the computer evolves upwards from the side.  Sometimes I wonder if I'm even playing real people.

Took a break for an hour or so... came back and now have message saying a problem to connect to the internet game server.  Someone knows what's the problem?  What it says is specifically "a network error occurred when communicating with the game server". That the devil which means?

    Hello

     

    1. what browser do you use?

    2 are you facing the same issue with other games like asset stings on the internet?

    I suggest you follow these methods and check.

    Method 1: You can check if the problem appears in a clean boot state.

    Refer to this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If the problem is solved, check which service non-Microsoft is the source of the problem; referring to article and following the other steps.

    Note: After you check the clean boot feature configure Windows to use a Normal startup using step 7 proposed in the above mentioned link.

     

    Method 2: Temporarily disable the security software and check if the game works very well.

    Refer to this link: turn off the antivirus software

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    When you disable the Antivirus: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

     

    Method 3: If the previous step fails, temporarily disable the Windows Firewall and check if the game works very well.

  • Hang up my Internet Backgammon when looking for players, how to fix?

    When I start Microsoft Internet Backgammon he connects to the server and then he hangs up when "looking for other players. Just before that, I was playing asset stings on the Internet and I pushed a player and shortly after I was "disconnected". I don't have the error code. I then launched Microsoft Internet Backgammon and that's where problems began. I tried to turn on/off (uninstalling and reinstalling) this feature of Windows. I checked that my internet speed is enough (more than 56 Kbps, mine was 54 Mbit/s). I tried to renew my IP address. I even tried a system restore to an earlier time. Nothing seems to work. How to solve this problem?

  • After the latest updates from Microsoft, my Internet Backgammon supplied with Windows 7 no longer works. It is a dead link and the game opens same. That's happened?

    I like to play trump stings on Internet and Internet Backgammon that's installed with Windows 7, Home Premium edition.  However, after the automatic updates installed yesterday, I noticed that the link to play the Internet Backgammon is no longer works.  It's just a dead link.  I can click on it, but nothing happens.  Not even an ounce of trying to open.  It's just 'died '.  I can still play trump stings on the Internet and I have no trouble to access the internet, so I wonder if this is just a small problem or do you have Microsoft remove Internet Backgammon as one of its windows games?  Note, this is Internet Backgammon that is installed on the computer, in the folder games - it is NOT the version of backgammon on MSN that you actually go to the internet and to play.  I am referring to the one in the Games folder, which is installed with Windows 7.  I play this game almost every day, so I hope that it will be restored.  I wish there was a way to contact Microsoft about this, but there isn't and they charge, then...

  • Bugs of Internet Backgammon

    1. when another player closes and the computer resumes, the computer plays a horrible game of backgammon. It's not worth playing. They are working to improve this?

    2. There is no way to exit the game without loss - as if I'm quiting. I tried left click, right click, click on anything that it is clickable remotely and not,- and doing so at all points after a game ends or begins a new. All I get is the message it will count as a loss in my statistics. When will be that fixed?
