wineq 1 and 2 wont authenticate.

Hello,

Both wineq 1 and 2 are not working (on EQ1)....my error is (for me) the dreaded

"connection to the lavishsoft license server failed. The server may be inaccessible at this time, or the amount of network lag between you and the server is extraordinarily high"

It has been like this since the patch and was working fine on 1.0 before....2.0 has yet to ever work for me. When I try to authenticate staright from playnice it fails. I have tried connectiing through wireless hardline to router and straight to DSL modem (verizon dsl)

My comp =

p4 3.0
ati 9700 mobile
512 ram

However I have tried this on a few different computers and I am getting the same results. I have reconfirmed my password on the lavishsoft website profile. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of the programs.

Again this started right after the dec 17th patch. Plz advise thanks

Raker

It's literally impossible for me to troubleshoot your home network, I apologize. I would have to know every process and DLL running on your system, and that's not something you are likely to have readily available. However, you can try using Spybot - Search & Destroy from http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html to look for spyware. You can also check for viruses with virus software...

I can only assure you that our server handles hundreds of successful connections every hour of every day from users of all versions of windows, on all types of connections, from around the globe. Other than software installed on your system, theres no known reason for consistant failures...

ok good deal thanks for responding. I figured once i got it running on 2 other computers then it wasnt on your end. I have also noticed that my anti-virus wont connect to teh live update to get new definitions. So I may be heading for the wipe reboot routine (shudders)
