heres an error message which i get when trying to load pogo games (chess java) whihc is as a result of the firewall installation:

The following error has occurred:
The Applet Encountered a Programming Error (Cripes!)
Explanation:
This error usually indicates that either the applet has been corrupted in your cache, there's a bug in your browser or there's a bug in our applet.

How to Fix the Problem:
The most common cause of this error occurs when your copy of the applet is corrupted. So the first thing you should do is clear your browser's cache and see if this fixes the problem.

Pull down the Tools menu and choose "Internet Options"
Click on the General tab.
Click on the Delete Files button in the "Temporary Internet Files" section and then click OK when the dialog box appears.
Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
Exit and relaunch Internet Explorer.
You might also need to turn off your Java JIT compiler. Here's how to do that:

Pull down the Tools menu and choose "Internet Options"
Click on the Advanced tab.
Scroll down to the "Java VM" subhead and make sure "Java JIT compiler enabled" is unchecked.
Click the OK button.
After clearing your cache, you need to quit and restart your browser. If you don't quit the browser, your cache will not be completely cleared out.

If this doesn't seem to solve your problem, try rebooting your computer.

If this does not fix the problem, you may have a caching proxy server between you and our web server. To see if this is the case, check the proxy setting for your browser. If there is a proxy server set, try turning it off. Then clear your cache again as described above, and quit and restart your browser to see if it fixes the problem.

If this does not fix the problem, your browser may not be installed properly. Try re-installing your browser.

If all of these solutions still don't fix your problem, then you have probably encountered a bug in our applet or in the browser you are using. Earlier browser versions (Netscape 3.x and 4.0x as well as Internet Explorer 3.x) may have Java-related bugs in them that are causing the problem. There is a good chance that upgrading your browser will fix the error. If that does not solve the issue, then it is probably a bug in our applet. Please let us know by going to http://help.pogo.com.

Christ Mr Euro.Sounds like you need an Exorcism on it! :-)
Can`t help with the above prob,but im sure someone here will be able to assist.

Mr Euro: I understand how you feel, I really do.....

I've just tried backing up some files by burning them on to a CD. (First effort, folks!) As far as I can tell, the information is now on the CD and I have ticked the box allowing me to read the CD in any CD rom drive. Put in disc, silence, then whirs after about 15 seconds. But nothing comes up. Evenutally it stops whirring.

I've looked under My Computer and it is definitely there, I even have two copies, one in the V and one in the W drive. But how do I read the contents, please .... anybody?

Please don't worry about insulting my intelligence..... that drive is completely empty.

Mr Euro, sorry, only just checked in to this thread.

Are you still having a problem? I don't have any problems other than sometimes when I start a new application for the first time a pop-up appears asking if the remote access is to be authourised permanently or temporarily, e.g. downloading from TC2000. I don't think I got it at all with this site.

What level of security have you got set? I had to set it to medium (which is still ok) because of the access I need to my work VPN.

There may be some help available on the Zonelabs site.

Hi Biffer,

The settings I have are:

Firewall
Internet - High
Trusted - Medium

Program control - Medium
Automatic Lock - off

Privacy:
Cookie Control off (I want this on medium but cant use MONEYAM unless it's off, it keeps requesting log in for every new page).
Ad blocking off (sometimes on medium but some sites dont work unless its off)

So far I have had 11 intrusions (1 high rated). A lot seem to be coming from the Chester area - is it you Gausie!!! Not sur
e what to make of all these intrusions!?

Mr Euro,

My setting are:

Internet Zone Security: Medium
Trusted Zone Security: Medium
Blocked Zone: None

Program Control: Medium
Automatick Lock: Off

Privacy
Cookie Control: Medium
Ad Blocking: Medium
Mobile Code Control: Off

I've tested these settings at www.grc.com and they are ok. No problems accessing any sites either - perhaps it's the dodgy sites you're accessing :)

No Biffer I can still get my streaming porn, I sorted that out straight away :-)

For some reason the firewall treats sites differently depending on if I use AOl or IE. I can access MoneyAM fine from IE but not AOL.

vasey, a V and W drive?!! How many drives have you got!

What have you done, gone into my computer, clicked on the drive the CDR disc is in and there's no disc? If the disc is there then click on that, should then list your files. Also, which program did you use to make the disc? I'm only any good with Easy CD Creator as that's my prog! However, may be able to help.

The drive probably will only whir when you put the disc in as there are no programs on it. (i.e. no .exe files).

However, I could be wrong....

Well just like in real life you can pick up a virus from those dodgy sites.
So I have been told ;-)

Anyone explain the difference between incremental and mirror backups?

thanks

robber, mirror means that you make an exact copy of what you're trying to back up. Incremental means that you only back up the files that have changed since the last backup. Incremental backups are obviously much smaller and quicker since they don't back everything up. If you were using incremental backups you might therefore take a mirror (or full) backup every week and an incremental backup on all the other days. To restore you would need to load the mirror backup followed by every incremental backup taken after that.

seymour: thanks for responding. I can see the disc and double clicking on that does bring up a list of files which shows exactly what I wanted, but opening one of the documents doesn't happen. Is it possible that somehow it's only transferred a table of contents and not each document as well. If so, how do I rectify that, please.

I use Adaptec Easy CD Creator v3.5c and V is the drive I read CD's on. W seems to be the Rewriter thingy! Apart from those two, just the normal C and A, I think!

Easy?? They're kidding.

Fabulous news about PDX - can't believe I missed it!

I've been trying to get some more info from the pursuit guys this morning.

So - here's the SP:-

Edmonton is Ontario's main heavy industrial area, about an hour's drive from Toronto. The deal thats been done is for Sonico to buy a small number of units from PDX for testing purposes. PDX engineers will support the deployment and test process, and will bill sonico for time and expenses.

The PDX-3 will be tested in some new 'standing tanks'. The theory is that a single solid state PDX3 unit will replace four traditional components: the pump, the macerator, the agitator and the oxygenator. Each of these traditional components costs more than a single PDX3. Each of these components has a shorter servicing interval than the PDX3. Servicing any of these components requires the standing tank to be shut down.

Should the tests prove succesful, the expectation is that all new water processing plant worldwide will be built with PDX3 technology, and a retrofit program will begin worldwide to replace all existing tanks with the PDX3 version. The cost of retrofitting a PDX3 pump and servicing it for 3 years is expected to be less than the cost of servicing existing technologies for two years.

If these tests prove succesful, in four month's time Pursuit could well be forecasting an initial annual royalty in the region of 25m and growing over 5 years to more than $500m.

The shares currently trade under 40p. Numis have a target of 1.50. Looks like they may have to revise that upwards pretty soon.

Mr Euro,

Why not email Zonelabs support, if it is an AOL problem then they've almost certainly alread come across it?

Cheers

thanks Kayak, so if a file has been deleted since the last Incremental backup would it then be deleted from the backup set on the next run?

Robber

No.

Also bear in mind that if any of your previous backups (since and including your last full backup) become corrupted then your chances of doing a full restore to a new hard drive are nil. You multiply the chances of failure by an horrendous amount.

Gausie

Robber, for the reasons that Gausie has dynamically pursued and outlined I prefer to do "differential" backups, which are the third option, if your backup program allows them. These back up everything changed from the last full backup, not the last incremental backup. That means that on a restore you only ever have two tapes to load, and that the deleted files issue only applies to files deleted from the original backup rather than the intermediate ones.

thanks both, youve been a great help.

Neil
