I take it was working before.

If so, the usual cause is a Windows update goofing up the .NET framework.

You can cure it by doing a system restore to a point in time The Toy was last working.

It was working for a short time before then it stopped working. I am new to the toy and have only downloaded it recently. Yes I think it stopped working after some Windows Update on the 17th April.


What do I do to do a system restore to a point in time The Toy was last working?

Thanks

Hi Porman,

Click Start, right click Computer and select Properties.

When the window opens, select System Protection in the Tasks Pane.

You will find all of the configuration options there...

Hope this helps.

Thanks Quo, but how do I restore to a point in time before the dates listed in the restore box

Thanks Quo, but how do I restore to a point in time before the dates listed in the restore box

Have you got the option checked: 'Show me more points'?
If you did, and you see no more restore points, thats probably means your system didn't create any...it normally does after any important update or a manual prog install by the user.

Try to do a re-install of the .NET framework, maybe it cures the goofing up . Report back, please, thank you!

AGT Not Working

Could it be the firewall blocking AGT? If so, how do I fix/check?

Thanks

[The Geek]

If it was working before I doubt it's your firewall as it would be a different error message to that.

The only other suggestion I can think of if a system restore didn't work is for you to re-install the .NET framework 2.0.
