Rainbow Six/Zone files...

Hi Zinger,

There's a specific newsgroup you can use for MSN Gaming Zone.

The Zone newsgroup is listed on the left side of this "Community
Newsgroups" windows under " PC Games" > "Game Zone"
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/newsReader.aspx...

However, while you're here... ;-)
To troubleshoot MSN Gaming Zone issues, try my website:

Can't get in? http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/EnterRooms.html
Can't load game? http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/java.html

Browser settings? http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/IE.html

Can't install Zone? http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/rezone.html
"Failed to Download" error: http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/ftd.html

Can't join or host game? http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/ftl.html
Lag / Disconnects? http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/PortRoute.html

Blocked by a router? http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/howto.html
Which ports to open? http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/ports.html

Please visit http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/ for more of my pages! :-)

MSN Gaming Zone also provides it's own current help pages
at: http://zone.msn.com/en/support/article/supporttoc.htm

Official support is provided by email to zmaster@microsoft.com

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. :-)

| Website being used: www.zone.com
|
| So I go to this website, I have Rainbow Six on a fresh install and MSN

|
| Sorry, we were unable to install your game.
| Follow the instructions below. If you still have difficulties, click here to

| Sorry, we were unable to install your game.
| Click here for more help.
|
| Please Note:
|
| Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog
| box.
| Click INSTALL to accept the ActiveX control.
|
| If you do not see the dialog window above, click on the yellow bar near the
| top of your browser, and then click Install ActiveX Control.
|
| I dont see this yellow task bar underneitht he URL where I'm supposed to be

|
| I can't figure it out, I want to play, but I can't install this '1' file.
| Someone please help.
|
| I can take screenshots if you really need to see the website.
|
| Thanks in advance.

I've tried all of those pages that relate to my problem and I just retried
them now. Unfortunatly (for me), I still can't get in. It's not only in the
Rainbow Six area, but for any CD-ROM required game I get the same error.

I was wondering if maybe we could pick a time that is convenient for each
other and maybe try Remote Assistance, since you are the pro here you would
probably be able to fix it a lot easier.

If not, do you have any other suggestions on how to fix this problem? Or
need any more information? I'm Windows XP SP2, btw.

Hi Zinger,

It's not a Windows XP issue, but rather a Zone.com issue,
therefore I'm glad you post this problem on their newsgroup.

I'm sure they will be able to help you access that Zone lobby.

So I'm guessing a Zone.com representative will post and be able to fix this
issue?
